The current line up hanging out in the mancave....:thmbsp:

Nice lineup. Congrats, I see you got the 500th post on this thread. So which pair do you use most?

So which pair do you use most?

Well most recently, none of them, since I've been enthralled with my new main mancave system. The RS IIb's are hooked up, but I need to monkey with them and their driving components a bit.

I'm kinda tempted to ring them around the TV and use them for a little home theater....:scratch2:

 

[Waldman]

That Man Cave is way too big for one guy - real nice digs!

 

[benb]

Yeah, that's quite a nice collection there and a nice space for them. I gotta ask this quite likely off-topic question, that big blue horn thing with the vertical slot, I presume that's a ribbon driver in the slot, what brand and model is it?

 

[analog addict]

Heh....

I suppose it's about as off topic as one can get in this forum.

It's an Altec MR94B horn with a 1" to 1.4" converter with an Altec 902-8A compression driver.....:yes:


Hey, you asked......

My version of the Quantum 3, the construction of which is documented elsewhere in the forum.

TL;DR = rebuilt cabs to mirror image, increased mass, slightly increased the internal volume, added bi-amping capability.

 

[crazyjeeper]

Just got some Kappa 6s from another AK'er. They are good enough that the Qb's are now stands until I get my AU-999 working again.

 

[cdfac]

good to see they arrived safely and you like them!

 

[crazyjeeper]

Like is probably the understatement of the decade.

 

[Cue Zephyr]

Some very nice speakers @ everybody.

New to the forum, but an Infinity buff all my life. I currently own a Kappa video center, Kappa 9's, Kappa 5's for rears, and some SM150's in the basement for my gym. I got the Kappa 9's for $600, but they came painted...the most god aweful paint job ever. I included a before/after pic of my restoration. I've also replaced the dustcaps since the photos were taken. Right now I'm driving them with an Adcom GFA-6000, but I'm going to invest in a better power amp soon.

[cdfac]

impressive!

 

[Augy]

Your 9's

You did a great job in stripping the paint and the finish on the oak looks beautiful...Bi amp them You will lovem even more...

 

[tubed]

+3 Impressive.
Most impressed with the small drop cloth, on how the black paint disappeared and you didn't get any on the white tile.

 

[Ken Boyd]

Well can't you tell, that black pait was a water based finger paint, just throw it in the tub behind it and out it comes squeaky clean.

 

[statman122]

a few shots of my new RS 4B's

 

[advrider]

Kappa 7's (1 refoamed)
Kappa 9's (original)
RS 4.5's (all refoamed)

Every single driver works in all of them (knocking on wood lol)

 

[budgetaudio6]

:tears:that first pic...i saw at a thrift and missed by about 10 minutes, had a "meaningful" talk(lasted well over a half hour!) with GF at the time before i got there...they had a hold sign and the person buying them just walked in while i was looking them over...

Infinity ERS-840

While searching for spare Infinity drivers I stumbled across a pair of ERS-840 in-wall speakers. To be honest, I had no idea that these speakers even existed. From what I can tell they were only available for one year, 1997. That means they must have been one of the very last speakers to use the original EMIT design. It is called an EMIT N in this series, but looks identical to the EMIT K in the Kappa series and Modulus satellites. Apparently the ERS-840 was the top model of the series with an 8" IMG woofer. I only listened to them for a few minutes, but what I heard I liked. They definitely have that 80s/90s Infinity sound. They are also in excellent condition. No dents in the grills or other marks. I am not sure what I will use them for, so for now they will be stored. One day when the need for a pair of in-wall speakers arises, I will have the perfect pair.

That was the Limited Edition piano black finish! Piano black and Santos Kappa used to cost $1K more than the standard edition!
