[icked these RSa's up the other week. The cabinets were in pretty rough shape so sanded them down, restained, and a few coats of tung oil later

Here is my Kappa 5 side by side with my Modulus:

Internal rewiring on the Kappa 5. I did it with Kimbers 8TC and it really slimmed the bass in a good way:)

A memory when I had my RS 2b, sadly they where a too tough load for my receiver(no surprise, really) and here U also see my Modulus subwoofer and 1 of my black Kappa 5 as centerspeaker.

Those look really fine kbott! How do they sound?

thanks, I'm pleased with how they turned out Soundwise they're nice I had a pair of RSe's in the past and I think these are a little better They image really well people complain that the woofer can't quite go high enough i may be not that critical - my ear can get accustomed to most speakers
 
howdy howdy, I have a pair of Qb's and a pair of Qe's which I bought new back in the day. I am now replacing the caps and resistors on the Qb crossovers as the caps have gone flat. I would like to replace the dark brown speaker cloth with the same original cloth or something similiar but can't locate it. Anyone have luck finding it ? thanks

I cannot beleive how amazing these little (well, not so little) 2 ways sound.
I had them hooked up in front of the speaker array next, and they gave 60% of the sound, seperation, and clarity of the Crescendos, amazing little speakers, even with the midrange suckout. I'd love to hear the 3 way.


P1020402.JPG


My main system, Crescendos for music (usually, sometimes I switch them over to tv duty) and the RS 525's are my movie speakers, reinforced with that velodyne sub you see. (it has a passive pointing down,fits in real well with the RS's)

All Infinity drivers shown have been refoamed or (in the case of the EMITS) replaced, so this system should be good for another twenty years of audio bliss.

I don't have any pics of my Kappa 7.1's, I'll have to go over to my Brother in laws (who has them) and take pics, they're also sweeet speakers, and I (being a freak and a deadhead) put vintage dead stickers on them top and sides years ago. My Caveat when I loaned them to him was that he couldn't remove the stickers. He was thrilled, his wife my sister, not so much.

anyway, I love the sound of the old infinity's. Sure wish Harmon Kardon hadn't done away with the EMIT's and EMIMS.... what a stupid decision.

I hope to find either the Infentesimals(spelling) or the original sub/sat series some day. I also know where there's a pair of ren 80's, but an EMIT (at least) is blown, so .....

Picked up the Kappa 8's from AKer drumman2112 this weekend. He did a great job restoring them to excellent condition. 5b's waiting on a new emit. :music:
 
I don't know about Ms. CB but Ms. Albowlly doesn't share my taste in music, hence the banishment to the basement.

I'm lucky my wife likes most of the music. Looks like a nice above ground basement at your place it has a lot of character, Cheers!
 
TV-Stero system

Reference six's, recapped and refoamed, driven by Kenwood C-2 Pre amp, and KM-105 amp.
Mostly Mp3's on the computer (over 70 gig) using my old Blackberry as player, and Music Cast tunes from Comcast. :music:

7.1 system is Reference 2000.6 front mains, CC-3 center, Reference 2000.2 sides, and a pair of Video 1 centers turned up vertically as the rears, Yamaha SW-315 sub, driven by a Sony STR-DH800 HDMI TrueHD receiver. :thmbsp:

These came home with me a few days ago, gave 60 bucks for the pair. I probably would not have bought them if i'd known the base speakers were not original.

Looks like someone replaced them with realistic radio shack brand deals.

So the search starts to find some originals.

You're one fortunate son Bryced1!

You still got a great bargain 7.62, enjoy the hunt and welcome to AK!

Once you find and install those original drivers you will be so happy you brought them home for a measly $60.00
