IMF owners thread!

[Godement]

Hi I am new to this forum I have a pair of TLS50IIs which will take the palce of Thiel CS1.6 that i am currently selling (different styles ...).
To start with could anyone tell me what are the values/nature of those green coils (or resistors ?) on the input board of the speakers (the one with the contour switch) ?
Thanks !
Pierre

Hi all seeking clarification from the brains trust.
I purchased a pair of celestion hf1300 8ohm diaphragms from eBay. The seller is the ninomusicfrance seller.

I received this View attachment 2391050

It is a plastic type round dome but the original diaphragm you see in the background is a fabric type pointed dome.
The paper spacer that came with the replacement doesn't fit the magnet either.
I emailed ninomusicfrance and the reply was that it is compatible?

Is this right?

Its not right, looks like he sent you the HF2000 coils that have the dome attached.

the HF1300's are just the coil. I got hem back a few years ago.

here is a section of my thread on repairing them.

This is the post when I received the coils .

Thanks Athanasios for the confirmation that could you have looks to be more appropriate. I have emailed ninomusicfrance and see what their reply is.

Merci Athanasios pour la confirmation que vous avez sans doute l'air plus approprié. J'ai envoyé un e-mail à ninomusicfrance et je vois leur réponse.

Bonjour j'ai bien reçu votre message et la demande de retour que vous avez effectué. Comme le dit Athanasios, il m'avait commandé en 2016 la bobine seule pour le hf1300. Vous avez commandé le diaphragme complet c'est à dire un dôme de remplacement + la bobine. Aussi, vous n'avez pas commandé la bonne pièce. Je laisse la possibilité à mes acheteurs d'acheter des produits différents suivant leurs budgets mais surtout leurs besoins... Ceci explique cela. Vous avez fait une erreur. Vous comprendrez que suivant votre erreur d'achat, il est possible de remplacer votre achat par la bonne pièce souhaitée.

Voici ce qu'a commande Athanasios et qu'il a recu en 2016 : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/222010993151
voici ce que vous avez commande et que vous avez recu : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/221975710586

vous voyez bien que la première annonce correspond a la bobine seule et la deuxième annonce correspond au diaphragme, (dome + bobine)
Les prix sont différents pour une réparation différente et surtout un besoin diffèrent...

Ce n'est pas correct, on dirait qu'il vous a envoyé les bobines HF2000 auxquelles le dôme est attaché.

les HF1300 ne sont que la bobine. Je l'ai récupéré il y a quelques années.

voici une section de mon fil sur leur réparation.

C'est le message où j'ai reçu les bobines.

J'espère que ça aide.

Bonjour Athanasios , oui cela correspond bien a votre achat en 2016.
Vous aviez acheté ce modele : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/222010993151

Andrew s'est trompé et a acheté ce modele : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/221975710586

Ce n'est pas les mêmes pièces ni les memes besoins

La description que vous avez dans votre annonce eBay ne correspond pas au produit que vous avez envoyé ?

Oui j'ai commandé https://www.ebay.fr/itm/221975710586
N'est-il pas déraisonnable que j'ai reçu le diaphragme pointu rouge avec la bobine attachée ? C'est ce que le tweeter hf1300 utilise. Mais j'ai reçu un diaphragme à dôme rond noir avec la bobine acoustique. Rien à voir avec le diaphragme d'origine.

Je ne veux pas seulement la bobine, je voulais le diaphragme et la bobine acoustique.
Par conséquent, je pense que j'ai commandé correctement.

Juste quelques commentaires que vous devriez réellement placer une photo du produit que vous avez l'intention de donner au client à l'avenir afin qu'il puisse prendre une décision éclairée sur l'achat.

oui c'est bien pour cela qu'il a de nombreuses photos disponibles dans la description aussi il faut l'ouvrir pour les consulter

[Andrew Chan]

My apologies voicecoil34 I see you have the black domes in the description pictures itself. I did not see them in the main photos on the main Ebay pictures hence I assumed that I would receive the pointed diaphragms with the coil as per original celestion hf1300

 

[voicecoil34]

Mes excuses voicecoil34 Je vois que vous avez les dômes noirs dans les images de description elles-mêmes. Je ne les ai pas vus sur les photos principales sur les principales photos d'Ebay, j'ai donc supposé que je recevrais les diaphragmes pointus avec la bobine selon celestion d'origine hf1300

j'accepte vos excuses andrew

I just picked up a couple pairs of IMF's. The 50 mk2, and 80mk2. The 80's need some work, but the 50's are currently playing in my living room. I need to replace a few drivers in the 80's with something close to original.

Yeah the tweeters and super tweeters are not correct.

eBay does have some from time to time. I would use the originals if possible .

Polarity on midrange in Compact Monitor 2?
I've come in possession of a pair of Compact Monitor 2.
The midranges needed new surrounds, as they often do, but when I unscrewed them to replace the surrounds, I discovered that the mids were connected differently. For unknown reasons, spades is fitted, so it's probably not a IMF's fault.

There is a red and a green wire, and my first impulse was to connect the red wire to the red terminal, but is that how the IMF has intended it?
Is there anyone here in the thread, who knows how IMF has connected the mids i Compact Monitor 2?

 

[IMF_Pioneer]

Firstly someone has been in there as IMF soldered all their speaker connections. No crimp lug connectors were ever used. The side that has the green wired hooked to it should be the Positive side of that driver. All you need to do to check the polarity in the wiring is look at the crossover and see what colour is hooked to the positive Midrange tab.

Hello,

I have an opportunity locally to pick up IMF TLS 80 speakers for about $800. I am currently powering a Monitor Audio Bronze series 6 with a MC2205/C28. Think the upgrade would be substantial? Due to the size increase, it would require me to rearrange the living room a bit/make some concessions to the wife.

Any input would be appreciated.

 

[IMF_Pioneer]

The 80
s are one of the best affordable speaker in the IMF range and at $800 I'd rush out and grab them. These have been known to sell for up to the $1600 mark, depending upon condition.

Yeah, the ones here in Buffalo. Saw them on FB, read everything I could about them and picked them up for $800 last week. Suckers were so big, they barely fit in my car, had to ride home with the trunk open and my 5 year old son in the front seat.

Been giving them a test this week and they sound great. Much fuller sound than my Monitor Audio Bronze, though perhaps not as crisp. I haven't quite decided if they are better necessarily, just different. Really enjoying the new sound - it's fun just to switch things up.

Thanks for the input. I picked them up for $800. Condition was pristine. Everything original, minimal wear on the cabinets, all drivers worked. Very impressed so far. They envelope the room more than my previous set, those perhaps not quite as tight and dynamic.

I was going to offer that amount myself, but I have a set I got for 300 Some bad drivers but a few dollars to fix them myself. I plan to re cap mine
this winter.

When I push the speakers a bit, I am noticing visible shaking in the grill of one of the speakers and not the other. Is that normal or is something potentially amok?
