    forsgren - great experience

    I just want to give props to AK member "forsgren" for a quick, seamless, and congenial transaction. I purchased a Realistic mini system with speakers from forsgren and had it shipped to my brother in another state. I paid through paypal and the system was shipped out the next business day (to...

    Just received my KD-1033 :(

    If I may chime in here, just to avoid starting a new thread. I have a question for my own KD 1033, maybe the cables are the problem... I just picked it up last week, finally got around to testing it. I purchased it with broken cables. Easy enough to fix, right? I had a radio shack 1/8 to...

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Thanks for the education and the advice. I knew they were sideways, but I didn’t know it would be so bad. Will get back inside to rotate them, but will probably have to use the lower cutout, which will drop them about four or five inches lower on the baffle. They are mirror-imaged baffles. I...

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Thanks for the info. Why is that? I could move them to a different baffle cut-out, maybe (original design was four-way), but it would be lower. They are sideways now to fit into the previous super-tweeter spot.

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Well, it would've been cheaper to just find some nice QLS series Infinity's... But I finally got around to completing these speakers. Cabinets: Kanazawa KS-54H cabinets, sanded and re-stained to try to get the colors to match, but still not a great match. I'm still considering my options for...

    Refinishing Aquarius IV cabs

    Greetings AK souls. I have a line on these JBL Aquarius IV’s (see photo) - but one is extremely sun-faded. I recently tried to refinish unmatched cabs on another project with unsatisfactory results. Anyone out there with successful experience matching up cabs in such a state? Any tips? I’m...

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Thanks! Somehow I didn’t see this until I hit “reply”, so nix the 600hz and up to 350hz with the domes. For the long run, though, would you advise running the Watkins up to 350hz, or swapping out the soft domes for mid woofers to let the Watkins stay lower?

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Wow thank you all, that is good information and fast. I will explore the Watkins mid woofer and look at the RS1.5 schematic, 600hz crossover point would be ideal. Crossover I have simply says “RS6”, if it is a “b” then I don’t see it labeled. If I get it working, I will post pics of the guts...

    Seeking Watkins Woofer Crossover Design

    Hello Infinity Crowd, I am writing to ask for some of your guidance. I made the mistake of cannibalizing Infinitesimals awhile back, in such a way that they cannot be rebuilt. Still kicking myself. I do not want to make another mistake without taking advantage of your wisdom first. :bowdown...

    Infinity RS1.5 - Amp Eater?

    Hello Infinity crowd, Is this coincidence, or is something going on with these RS1.5's? They belong to a friend and I won't see him for a month or so, so I won't be able to test much in the meantime. However, I want to get a start on diagnosis and possible solutions. Backstory: My friend's...

    Hawkeye83 -- great seller

    As I write this, I am wearing fantastic earspeakers -- Staxx SR-44 recently purchased from Hawkeye83. Dan is a great seller: easy payment, prompt shipment, and secure packing. I had a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

    GordonW is a craftsman and a gentleman

    Hi everyone, I know everyone here already knows and loves Gordon, but I just want to share my experience in case someone doesn’t. I’m sure my experience mirrors many AKers and anyone else who has the pleasure to work with or buy from him. He is one of the pillars of AK, to me, and I have...
