Please Post your Infinity speakers

[Twestby]

Thanks guys. I'm happy how they turned out. I went with the spikes to get the bases off the floor and potentially clean things up somewhat but I don't have a final resting place for them yet.

Nice job Twestby, those RS4's never had it so good!

 

[tubed]

So I thought this thread was a sticky?

Anyway, my RS4`s turned out pretty good after I refoamed the woofers, refinished the cabinets, added a bit extra stuffing, replaced the binding posts, added spiked feet and changed the hardware to stainless steel...

Here they are for a test run, no, that`s not my normal garage setup...

Beautiful speakers, Twesty!
PS: A Persian rug may help with acoustics

Nice indeed...but..my eyes keep being drawn to those boxes in between. They look like top of the line equipment. What are those, if I may ask?

On the right we have Pioneer's C-90 preamplifier and M-90 power amplifier from the late 1980's...1988-1989 I believe. Both were from their Reference series and were called Elite in the brochures of the time.
On the left is the PD-93 cd player from 1990. Top Elite cd player made before the stable platter series came out.

Wonderful machines.

I own a pair of Reference Studio Monitors that I enjoy very much. Replaced one Emit tweeter. Bought them off craigslist in beautiful condition with the original stands ( I had to replace the cheap mdf shelf with plywood because it broke when tilting the speaker forward but now with its larger and stronger platform it is much more solid.)

I am new to the Infinity family with a pair of Reference standard B's. Wow Emit tweeters are as advertised, great low end and mids as well. Sweet and as I walked out with them the previous owner said if I decided to sell them to give him first shot, that said a lot. My re entry into vinyl is a fun experience with these little beautys.

Q2 gone...

Till last week, and for more then 34 years I owned a pair of Quantum 2. Those days they cost me a fortune and I had to apply for a bank loan.

Now all potentiometer, switches etc. were brocken or wrotten including the cables on 2 of the 4 DOME mids as well as the EMIT's on the right speaker were mute. :scratch2:

Having no skills and talents to fix it myself and no specialist nearer then North of Germany, I sadly had to say good-bye to a speaker that gave me so much pleasure over al these years. :tears: R.I.P.

In line with my todays preferred music I'm presently testing a pair of Avalon Transcendent.

Are they gone as in sold or just stored away. I'm sure the guys here could walk you through the repairs. Anyway, 34 years is a long time with one pair of speakers and I'm sure you are enjoying those Avalon's.

What do you power your RSb's with? I use fairly low power (an ST-35 so ~ 17.5 WPC) yet I can drive them easily. I don't crank them, it's more low to mid-level listening.

Anything can be fixed, and those are worth fixing! I hope you can find someone locally who can make good use of them.

Cheers.

Actually, they’re a bit too big to be just stored away - at least in my home
I’m unsure if walking me through remotely would be a real help considering my DIY skills ;-)

Anything can be fixed, and those are worth fixing!

You’re right looking from a vintage viewpoint... +30 years with Infinity sound in my ears will take me some time to get used to another type of speaker

Hi to all. I hardly post here because I'm so busy with work and all, but when I do get a chance to log on, I can spend hours reading all your interesting threads.
Like yourselves, I am also a huge fan of Infinity speakers. Last week in the midst of my home remodel, I set up a temporary system (while the mud on the back wall completely drys)) to demo an amp that I had listed for sale. I used my RSIIs which I recently acquired and then refurbished. Anyways after the amp sold to a local buyer, that afternoon I brought out my other ones for a picture. Enjoy.
I've found whether listening to Bob Marley, Dire Straits, or even Throwdown's last album Deathless, the RSIIs sound amazing. Feel pretty fortunate to have been able to find some for sale.

Cheers

 

[Twestby]

Very nice collection there. The speakers too of course.

 

[slimpikkins]

Nice looking spread of gear. Love the furniture dollies Looks like thats going to be a nice room. Which amp/s will be powering the RSII?

 

[levex]

Thanks slimpikkins and Twestby. Lol yeah, the dollies make it alot easier to move this stuff around while I'm still painting etc. That day, I had the ML No.23 hooked up to the RSII. It's rating is 200 watts at 8 ohms, 400 watts at 4 ohms and 700 watts at 2 ohms. It weighs about 80 lbs. Slimpikkins, I see you also have the RSIIb? Do you notice any big differences between the two?
How do you get your list of gear on the bottom of your post? Haven't figured that one out yet. I'm pretty new to these forums. Thx.
