It was a tough call! The sale really helped me get some stuff I really needed for my dedicated stereo, though, which is paying in dividends so I am not feeling (much) seller's remorse. The transmission line bass is definitely unique, and I do miss it from time to time. I know one day I will have another pair of IMFs. Maybe not the Mk IVs, but certainly one of the transmission lines.
 
Hi,you have start this IMF thread, hope you will continue contribute helping each and everyone of us. The one who bought the Mk IV,is he a member or will became one, IMF become more restraint going in time.

Oh of course, I'm always happy to share my knowledge and help out others with IMFs. I don't think that'll ever change! It's one of the best vintage speaker brands in my opinion.

Canuck,will you start a thread on your new acquisition RWO Fostex LS/3 V? one of these day's
Click to expand...

I did when I originally got them in the Speakers forum. It's titled "Altec, fostex, jbl oh my" or something like that. I've also got a thread going documenting the system I am building around them in the Members System forum if you want to take a look.
 
Hi guys,

Can anyone put me in the right direction. I'm trying to find a nice set of 3 way super compacts for a small system I'm building. Can anyone help?
What I do have are 2 tweeters, 2 mids and 2 crossovers to suit the compacts but not the rest. Cheers
 
hi, but these super compacts usually are not cheap when they come for sale, you looking for the MK I or the MK II,the parts you have is from?

Hey!!
Happy Birthday too! Thats 4 people I know who share the 14th!!

1 speaker done,changed the two on the speaker input,and 3 main ones on the crossover-its really brought these beauties back to life.I noticed the poly caps(5)are showing signs of cracking on some,fortunately,i have a source less than 5 minutes away for NOS Mullard caps,so I hope he has 10,ill replace these as well.
There is one thing im puzzled with,im left with 4 caps leftover,are these in case of revisions to the crossover,or are there 2 per speaker hiding from me?
 
Oh,an unexpected bonus as a result of a quick listen..........................................

I live with my grandmother,who is 85. She is a diamond,and has similar tastes in music,and always has. No crooners for her,she likes Beatles,Stones,Who,Yes,Pink Floyd,Sabbath,Rod Stewart,Jean-michelle Jarre,"propper music" :)
For the last 10+ years,we have been trying to identify a song that she heard me playing,quite often at the time,of course,no lyrics,no artist,just a vauge description of the tempo and mood,and that it involved an ex-boyfriend/partner type character.......
After completing the 1st speaker,keen to listen i put on Paul Simon-Still Crazy After All These Years album,50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,just for the drum solo intro etc
"Its similar to this.......that song" she said
"but not it?"
"no"
Hmmmmm.........ill try a few tracks(again) i thought
Phil Collins-another day in paradise duly cued up

"Hmmm,its sort of inbetween"

ok....back to the drawing board
Genesis-Throwing It All Away

Nope.......it was if he was watching her from a distance.........

LIGHT BULB MOMENT!!!!!!!
Joe Jackson-Is She Really Going Out With Him

"this sounds like it.................yes...im sure....."
Gets to the line'Look over there....WHERE?'
"This is it,this is the one................thank god for that!" she says. Its been driving us both nuts for over a decade
So not only are my speakers back on track,but ive solved a riddle thats been bugging us for years-worth the price of the re-cap kit alone :)

Haha that's awesome! That's great you are having so much fun :-) I remember recapping the TLS 80 IIs I had and I went about it the wrong way, ended up taking me way longer. But the sound! Ah. That was worth it alone.

As for the extra caps, if you have replaced the caps by the speaker terminals, then they are likely extras for a different version.
