Jim your pretty observant, but did you notice in the mirror it looks like someone is sleeping on the sofa?

Nope, I missed that, but I see it now. Must be some Bach or Handel singing from those 9's :music:

Ken, when you are looking at the picture you have in your Photobucket album, put your cursor over the photo you want and you should see a drop-down box with addresses in it. Slide your cursor over the IMG address, left click to highlight it, then right click it and select copy from that drop-down box and left click it. Now come back to your post here at AK and right click in the post and select paste by left clicking it. Your photo should be pasted in the post.

Funny, I just to another look at your previous pics and notice all the nicknacks on the hutch are gone with nice gear in their place. How'd you swing that?:scratch2:

;)
my wife loves listening to music as much as I do, and it turns out her ears are pretty good, if I move a speaker just a bit, she notices the difference etc, so she is as into it now as I am.
when she saw the pic, her first comment was, what is the box doing there?
 
I decided to take some pics of my Qbs in their new home with my decent camera. I really love the finish.








I can now say with confidence, best 65 bucks I ever spent. :D
 
Figured it out thanks to all.

Pair of the QLS 1's everything working except I have one Watkins DVC from a pair I purchased off ebay to replace the orginal poly cone one. The orginal has excessive voice coil rub to make it useable. All the mid cones have been repaired although some of the domes seem a bit soft but they sound good. That was a lot of work soldering all those wires, the worst part is trying to get that stupid glue off from inside the dome to get a clean bare wire to solder the new wire to. Behind them are the latest RS-1's

Look how nice the diaphrams on these are hardly any wrinkles at all very tight and almost like new. The cabs are prefect, not a scratch on them that I can find, even the grills perfect with emblems. One of the two crossover units works perfect the the other one seems to have a slight hum in it, possible bad cap. The other crossover that I already had has problems as I rehooked it up to this pair as I was checking them all and it just doesn't put out hardly any bass.

Check these QLS-5's I got of ebay over the weekend for a 110 dollars. They look really nice and right now on ebay they have a pair of pretty used looking mids at they are at 130 dollars for a pair of the mid drivers.

Nice jeeper! Beautiful veneer indeed!
I'm curious which midrange driver your pair has in them, if you ever pull one out be sure to note any markings on the back and post them, or take a pic! I'm expecting it's a Philips AD5060/SQ8 with the rear chamber, same driver used in the Dalquist DQ10.
Anyway, here's the Infinity datasheet for your speakers...

Thanks for the info. Interesting that they are 4 ohm. I guess my Marantz can do 4 ohms since it has been driving them no problem. Hardly any heat generation at all too.

I just pulled a mid.

Here is what it looked like.



The white part says "Made in Belgium"

Good deal! How do they sound?
 
Nice score Ken, those look great, that's a steal!

Opossumcrush, you've got a nice collection there! Which SDA's do you have in the background?

Crazyjeeper, thanks for pulling the mid, it's just what I thought. I wonder why Infinity used the AD5060/SQ8 in some Quantums and the AD5060/W8 in others, to cover the same frequency range?

A nice haul of Quantums all around!

Jim
 
Wow!

Hi guys, I found these incredible looking speakers online..possibly some kind of modded RS2B's?!? :scratch2: They look like Renaissance 90's on steroids!!! I gotta get me some, lol! Ah they're probably photoshopped afterall...:sigh:
David :smoke:

a cross between RS2.5 and RS4.5 driver-wise, and a cross between Kappa 9s and RSIIbs visually. those are Watkins woofers, btw.
 
Hi there fellow Infinity lovers,

I finally got around to downloading the pictures in my camera yesterday. There was a lot pictures that went all the way back to this past summer; including several pictures of my Infinity speakers, taken when I was in the process of moving. None of my equipment was hooked up at the time the pictures were taken. I've included pictures of my three receivers as well.

The first picture features my Crescendo CS-3009 speakers, with my rear channel Beta 20's sitting on top of the 3009's. Sitting above my tv is my Crescendo Center speaker. Next to the 3009's are my RS-4b's; and in the middle, are my Sterling SS-2005's.

The first receiver is my Pioneer D1S and it powers my home theater system. The second receiver is my SX-1050 that powers my RS-4b's. The last receiver is an HK 3490 that powers my Sterling 2005's.

The last picture is of my 3009's and RS-4b's with the grills on.

Well after much procrastination I finally managed to get a couple pics of my RS-II’s posted. You’ll notice that the dustcaps on the mids have been changed out, courtesy of Bill LeGall from Millersound, along with a re-alignment. The standard EMIT diaphragms have also been replaced with EMIT-K’s and the x-overs have been slightly modified to allow bi-amping.

All in all I’m very happy with the sound. Although I’d love to have a larger pair of Infinities, these are just the right size for my room.
