Dual522 by curtpenn posted Jul 30, 2022 at 10:54 PM Found an as new Dual 522 with OEM Ortofon ULM55 cartridge locally on CraigsList (Dallas) last week for $150. Still can't believe how good it sounds. You could spend 2-3 times as much and not hear much difference, IMHO. Deals are still out there.

I have 5 L-07 amps I've accumulated over the decades. The most recent was about 14-18 months ago. Found one on Audiogon for $160 delivered from Baton Rouge to Dallas. I consider that a steal, though. Just goes to show you can never tell.

Look for Mondialfan posts on this site and contact him if you need some help. He repaired a couple of L-07s for me last year.

You might contact Mondialfan here on this forum. He repaired a couple of my L-07 mono amps last year for a very price. He's in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

I've accumlated 5 of the L-07 mono amps over the last 20+ years. Still pleasantly surprised I was able to buy one last year on Audiogon for about $150. You just never know.

I have a nicely functioning pair of Quantum 2s, but have always wanted a pair of QLS-1s. Never can seem to find a pair close enough or cheap enough to pull the trigger. Even so, I've accumulated about 10 of the domed mids and and maybe 6 of the tall EMITs along with 3 other Watkins woofers...

WARNING: L-07s can be addictive. Worked for Pacific Stereo in the '70s and sold these when they were new. They were sort of the "inside baseball"/poor salesman's secret at that time. We had US-made Harman Kardon, SAE, Phase Linear, and Soundcraftsmen separates prominently displayed in our "high...

Bought a pair of Quantum 2s in 2005, but always wanted a pair of QLS-1s - just never found a pair close enough or cheap enough to pull the trigger. From what you say, maybe I don't need to keep looking. Thanks! Lol.

Worked for Pacific Stereo in the late '70s. Got a pair of Juniors then that I still enjoy to this day. Still think they are a tremendous value if you can find a pair. I have Quantum 2s in my main system, and QEs in a bedroom. The next step up in the Infinity line back at that time was a Quantum...

Trying one more time to get a response. Bueller?.....Bueller?.....

From the Owner's Manual I found online: "The Quantum Line source and Quantum 2 loudspeakers have connections to allow "biamplification". Make sure to remove the straps on the binding post when connecting the speakers in this way. You do not need an electronic crossover when "bi-amping" the QLS...

I did have to pull out the pots last year for a thorough descaling/cleaning, then put them back in. I wonder how the rat's nest of a crossover is connected (to your point about woofers being connected internally)?

Passive - no external crossovers. I'm coming out of a vintage Soundscraftsmen PE2217 that has 2 RCA lines out both left and right channel (total of 4 lines out via RCA connectors), 2 x Left and 2 x Right cables going to the amps. FWIW, pretty sure these are OEM with 4 posts and intended to...

So, I've run a pair of Infinity Quantum 2s with 2 Kenwood L-07 mono amps since about 2005. Finally got around to getting 2 more L-07s up and running with many thanks to a fellow AKer here in the DFW area with the intention of (I thought) simply running 2 L-07s to each speaker. The Q2s have 2...

Bought one of these and its companion KT-5300 + rack handles around '77 - my first "real" stereo. I mail-ordered them because I was a poor college student in those days and that was the cheapest way to get them. I see you are in Dallas. Used to travel from Waco to Dallas on the weekends...

Always loved the Q5s and thought they were the best bang for the buck if you could stretch a bit and had enough current to do them justice. I could only afford the Juniors back in the day and I still have them. Was fortunate to find a nice pair of Q2s in 2005 and they are now my mains. Still...

I lusted after L-07s but couldn’t afford them as a youngster selling hifi for Pacific Stereo back in the ‘70s. Managed to buy 4 of them via eBay 15+ years ago. One pair of the original version and one pair of the M2. Couldn’t hear any difference driving my Infinity Quantum Juniors. Over the...

That was the 4th album I ever bought. Right after Jimi Hendrix Experience Greatest Hits, Led Zeppelin II, and Cream Greatest Hits. Loved it.

Yup. Once I discovered the almost limitless supply of music from every genre and every century all available with a few keystrokes or swipes on my MacBook Air or iPhone that all sounds 1000 times better than it ever did back in the '60s or '70s on dad's Magnavox console or my record player with...

I've streamed Tidal HiFi to an Airport Express either from an iPhone or Macbook Air for about a year now. The AE is connected via TOSLink to a Schiit Bifrost Uber DAC. Zero issues when going this route. Your mileage may vary. When using the Mac Air, I usually go USB to the Bifrost which delivers...

Freshman year of college - '73/'74 - the then current roommate of the guy that would go on to be my future roommate for the next 3 years had a new system in his dorm room. As I recall, it was an AR turntable, Sherwood receiver, and some model of Infinity speaker that had Walsh tweeters. Yeah, it...

I've had Infinity Quantum Juniors for almost 40 years and they were my main speakers most of the time. Still listen to them mostly on weekends for casual background. 12" woofer with 1.5" domed mid + EMIT (planar tweet). My main system is now a pair of Infinity Quantum 2s. So, I'm highly biased...

I have Quantum 2s, Juniors, and QEs. Great products. Sounds like a killer price. Not hard to finding replacement drivers if needed and you take your time.

I've had one of these since new, but had the exact same problem with one dead channel. Mothballed it probably 25+ years ago. Have wondered lately about getting it out and getting it fixed. Good luck!
