    Infinity SM153 Cabinet Paint

    I recently received a pair of Infinity SM 153 speakers. The cabinets have a hard textured black plastic covering on then that is marked up and in need of paint job, I think.

    Is the Infinity QE Emit Tweeters the same as the others?

    I was driving around my neighborhood and saw a single beaten up Infinity QE speaker on the curb. After testing the speaker (all works fine), I took out the tweeter, woofer, and crossover out of the cabinet. I would certainly like to make a cabinet for the speaker, but I want to also buy another...

    Reference Five 10'' Foam Edge Replacement

    Hi guys, I just started doing a replacement of the foam edge on my Reference Five woofers. I was able to use the Alan Key to lift the speakers from the box, however they are attached by the + and - wires. This is a really silly question I'm sure, but I don't want to risk doing any damage. How...

    Cure for the ribbon tweeter bug?

    Hello, I'm a dirt cheap budget guy, but have found some ribbon speakers in my travels. To my ears they just sound so clear they put all of my other speakers to shame. I need more ribbon's in my life and I am wondering if a middle ground (in the budget category) would be some Air Motion Tweeters...

    Infinity Kappa 9's - Goes against core design principals?

    Hi Audio-heads! Just got my hands on the original set of Kappa 9's I bought new in 1992. It's a long story, however the previous owner traced them back to me and the vintage audio-head that I am; I had to buy them back. Anyway, here's the bend... As its been posted correctly, these speakers...

    Infinity Crescendo Speaker Replacement?

    I found a pair of these speakers at a thrift store for $20 and figured it would be easy to replace any speakers that needed it. The woofer and mid range speakers are dry rotted. Unfortunately the speakers are not held in the enclosure by any typical/known fastener. Does anyone here know how to...
