Enjoying the music.....
I have a pair of QB's hooked up in my garage to a Sansui 5000X, very nice sound!!
I have a set of Quantum 2's and a set of Quantum 3's. I have not heard better sound in a home setting than the Quantums. For home theater, I use the Quantum 3's as the main speakers & ARLSTII's for surround driven by a Pioneer 1014X Receiver, and a single AR3a for rear surround and Dayton 15" Infinite Baffle sub both driven by a Hafler DH500.
Would like to incorporate both the Quantum 2's and 3's in the system, but I have a wife. She accepts the AR's for surround, but the Quantums are too large.

Efficiency Series ES-103
These sound VERY nice. Only complaint is that bass extension could be better. I plan on using these as mains in a home theater setup (surround sound with a sub).
EDIT: I ended up giving them to some old friends as a house warming present. They LOVE them, and listen to them all the time. These speakers have much better bass at their house sitting on the hardwood floor.

bocoogto, do you have the Q2's doing duty somewhere? Actually, I think the Q2s are a handsome piece of furniture. I think they will look quite nice in the living room once I get them set up (they have that monolithic look
). They will replace a stacked set of Mach 2 and HPM-60.
I have Infinity's first product, the Servo Static 1 (first produced in 1969).
This is my first attempt at a picture post; here goes:
The panel (I have 2) is missing 4 tweeters and is upside down (the picture is upside down too).
Each panel had 4 midrange electrostatic panels and 5 electrostatic tweeters (blue RTRs).
The Crossover/Sub amp has outputs for midrange and tweeter amplifiers and it has volume for bass and treble.
The subwoofer, the first servo sub, was 18" in diameter, inside a 2' cube.
Mine are Brazilian Rosewood (It wasn't in danger then!).

Grainger49,
Don't know how you did it , but the only words showing in your post is "This is my first attempt at a picture post; here goes:"
But when I hit the "quote" button to respond to your post, a whole buch more sentences showed up.
Do you see all the words you wrote when you view your post?
Very strange :scratch2:
OK...FORGET IT. Now everything is there. Must have been some kind of time warp...or my medication is wearing off ....
Hey !! Wait a minute, you did an edit. I'm not crazy...woohoo

Bad news, Kencat. The problem's on your end, I think. I see all the words.
Besides, what's more interesting is the third picture, of the ESL panel, which could just be upside-down, but I prefer to think that magician Grainger has finally gotten his anti-gravity project working.

OFF TOPIC ALERT!
Those are a little strange... The drivers are old 15 inch Jensen Dualax (15 inch with a whizzer cone... 16 Ohm... early 60's???) and the cabinets are Idunnowhat. They have part of a paper label that says Rockford Illinois... The cabs have a cutout for a big horn (4"by10", I think) that is covered on the inside with a plate. They are also "ported", actually a slot shape. I was told that they where initially bought as a kit and "built" by my friend's uncle. The sound pretty sweet, but I'm waiting for my first tube score to give them life again.

Strawman said:All I have are a couple of pairs of RS-2001's pulling surround duty, a pair of Qe's looking for EMIT's and Infinity in my new car.
Column IIs have a Walsh driver for the tweeter. I really liked it/them. Same driver as the Ohm, but not full range.

No, the Q2's and a pair of RSIIIA's are in storage. The RSIIIA's really sound great, but need woofers refoamed. Maybe they would be a better choice for home theater than the Q2's or Q3's after I get my IB subwoofers working right. The RSIII's don't go as low as the Quantums, but would probably put out more sound level. The accuracy of upper bass, mid, and highs is very good. Either pair, the Q2's or RSIII's are are too good for garage speakers--I use a pair of AR2a's in my garage/workshop now.
Don't know what to do about the home theater now. Maybe you have some ideas.

Wil84, I've been hoping someone would give us an opinion on something other than what most of us, or at least a number of us are running for power besides SS!
I've heard tubes thru other speaks, and I just can't fault the guys for their tastes :thmbsp:
I'm still SS thru and thru, but one day maybe, I might branch out to the other side.
You just have to love the way they glow and put out all that sweet sound, thru any speaker.
OK I didn't just say that

Hi Army,
While i have nothing against SS, ill always perfer the sound of toobs VS transistor...i have no idea why.
But the Sun 2a3 was paired with the adcom and primus becos all 3 components have fantastic synergy, and the Primus has crazy bass in this setup. I mean room shaking, chest thumping, plaster peeling bass! ( ok...maybe not that crazy ) But i was shocked when i heard what the 3.5Ws could do with the Primus.
Im not joking!
