    Infinity IRS Omega

    Hey all, As some of you may know, I recently purchased a pair of Infinity IRS Omegas. There's not too many around and as such there's not lots of info on them on the internet. Curiosity got the better of me today, and I decided to take a peek inside one and figured you'd all like to see as...

    Bi-amping Renaissance 90 speakers

    Hi everybody, newbie on the forum here! I was gifted a pair of Renaissance 90s from a friend who switched to a new set. I have a couple of power amps at home and I was wondering if I can use to drive the speakers in horizontal bi-amp mode. The first amp is Mark Levinson ML-9 which according to...

    Rs iiib capacitor replacement/upgrades

    Just picked up a set of infinity rs iiib boxes this week and outfitted them with some reconditioned RS iiia drivers I had and as my first set of infinity's the emit tweeters certainly live up to the hype and the poly cell midranges were a nice surprise. I'd like to upgrade the capacitors and...

    Rotel 991? Opinions?

    What's up folks? I've got a chance to buy a Rotel RB 991 (200 wpc) for $395. Anyone have any experience or opinions about this amp? I currently have a Marantz 2230 and a Sansui 881 and would most likely use one of those as a preamp to the Rotel to drive some Infinity CS-3008'S. There's also a...

    Neglected RSb tune-up/rebuild. Crossover info.

    I recently picked up an unmatched pair of infinity RSb's in somewhat rough shape, but all of the drivers work. I wanted to document a bit of the process I'm going through, seeing as these speakers are getting harder to find. Information on them seems to be disappearing from the internet too, so...

    Integrating Sansui 881 and Marantz 2230 Into One System?

    How's it going AK? I'm a noob to vintage audio systems and am in the midst of building my first system. I've searched the forums and Google and haven't really come across any answers to quandary. My first piece of equipment was a one owner Marantz 2230 in great condition. I had it inspected...

    Infinity Reference Five’s - DIY upgrades?

    Hey all !!! I recently picked up some Infinity Reference Five’s. They look amazing, and sound pretty good! The foams were redone by the previous owner, but I don’t like the way that the mid’s foam was done so I’m gonna redo them myself. I think the foam wasn’t fully glued on and is leaking air...

    Infinity Crescendo 3009

    Interested in fair market value as I picked them up a while ago. I don't think i overpaid but can't seem to find out much about what they go for lately. Are they that rare or do people hang on to them and rarely sell them? The mid bass and mid drivers were recently re-foamed and the cabinets are...

    Anyone seen these before? - Infinity HCA Hybrid Class A Amps

    In terms of non-speaker infinity products, FET preamps and the tonearm are all I've ever seen before. I've seen Klaus's page on these before but never seen any listings for them or anything. I'd love to hear what Nudell and his crew cooked up for amplification back in the '70s, and if the seller...

    Hi all, About three weeks ago I got a pair of Infinity 5000 speakers, and after setting them up and playing around with the Midrange and Tweeter levels I discovered that they were very noisy when moving and sometimes the speakers cut off when moving the pots, last night I decided to finally...

    Just picked up a pair of Infinity Kappa 600

    I recently traded up a pair of altec lansing 890 bolero speakers for a pair of Infinity Kappa 600. The difference in sound is quite large. As a new member of the audiophile community, im definitely starting to notice things about audio that i didnt before. Some music sounds absolutely fantastic...

    Replacement Woofer for Infinity Kappa 8.1i

    Hi folks I'd like to start a thread about replacing Infinity Kappa 8.1i woofer driver with more modern (sub-)woofer drivers. The Kappa 8.2i (Series 2) have the same woofer driver as far as i know. The "i" relates to the versions port-design, but the driver should also be the same as fas as i...

    How Many Here Use Tube Amps Or Tube Pre-amps With Their Classic Infinity Speakers?

    Been thinking a lot about my next step.. LOVE my Kappa 8's and Crescendo 3009's now that I got an issue resolved. My Ashly KLR-3200 Amp handles both sets of speakers very well and am thinking about adding another Ashly and Bi-amping them. I keep hearing others marvel over powering the tops with...

    Infinity Renaissance 90 Grilles

    I'm finally getting around to finishing the restoration of my Infinity Renaissance 90 speakers, and one of the last steps is to make new grilles for them. The originals for mine were broken when I bought them over 10 years ago (I can't believe it's been that long), and they've never been able...

    QLS-4 Crossover Slope Inquiry

    RS III - Optional factory finish?

    New/Never Used Infinity Quantum Dome Midranges (#902-0206)

I found one web listing (auction notice) for these new/never used midranges (see below). Does anyone have any idea...
