Hi Fred

Hope the second link helps some. Try googling the 3000's and you should find lots of info. Does your ADS model 10 work? I have one but the digital delay circuits quit. The amp still works and it is a pretty good amp but unfortunately the ambience system no longer works. It was really cool when it did.

Good luck with the restore!!

A little dusty (hey, just got em home from prior owner), but neat perspective.

Nice!! New to you Beta's? ENJOY!!

 

[tomlinmgt]

Awesome! It would be interesting to measure the wave propogation of the rearward firing emits and emims with all that thumping come at them!

Considering air can carry sound, with all the pressure propagated in front of the LF drivers I'm wondering if the rear wave from the EMIM/EMIT towers even makes it to the boundary layer behind them. I'm thinking it would be like throwing a feather into a rushing stream of water! The rear wave might even get some additional directional (forward) energy from the LF pressure waves. :scratch2: :scratch2:

OP, is there a sonic change to the character of mid and high frequency content when bass heavy content is playing?

 

[dual45's]

I have never been able to detect any change in sonic character when massive amounts of air is/are being moved by the woofers. I can however clearly see that the emim diaphragms are moved by the woofer air pressure waves when the emim is not being driven at all. I really don't know if this would have much impact on the quality of sound coming from the mid/hi panels.

Tomlinmgt... can you see this happen on your betas driving just the woofers and having the lemim/emim/emit panels off? I would guess that the lemim diaphragm might be easier to see this on than the emim.

I can't imagine that the back wave from the lemim/emim would have much if any effect on the woofers but I don't know how to even try to measure this.

I like the analogy of the feather in the stream.

On another topic ... I have always kept my woofers and mid high sections on the same plane with one another. It seems though that the IRS and Beta's RS1's and so on are recommended to have the woofers behind the mid/high sections by a foot or two as well as staggered one woofer section to the other.

I will have to try moving the mid/high sections out a foot or two in front of the woofer sections. This may really change the depth of field. Mine are easily moved since there is not any large baffle to speak of. I will try this and report on results after some listening.

Thanks,

Jim

RS3a's + RS625's

New to the Infinity forum
Just got a pair of RS3a's,
which I like a lot.
Lots of detail and stage.
Running them with alternating
Sony TA-N330ES as monoblocks
Hafler SH500
Amp section of Sansui G6000
Kenwood M1D + C2 pre
Jolida 302B tube
Sansui AU717

The 625's were OK till
I got the RS3a's.
Still OK, just not as much depth and
detail.

I need to get my browser to translate. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/images/smilies/sigh.gif I can do German.

I have no idea if the ADS works, but in the box I saw a couple of small components that were taken out by a serviceman, I'd guess. It didn't cost me much, 5-10 years ago, maybe $50. But it would be neat to hear the ambience section working.

Hi,

now it is time to show you my actual setup:

This makes a real thunder and endless punch:thmbsp:

[goodolpg]

Klaus, WOW.
Hope it sounds as good as it looks.

 

[audiomagnate]

I guess I've never posted in this thread. Triamped 2.5's with a VMPS Larger sub. I like bass.

 

[Hendrix416]

SS2002 I found at GW for about 20 bucks. Got the refoam kit from simplyspeakers. They sound pretty good. Nothing like the monsters I've seen on here but they're great in the listening room. Hopefully I will find more Infinity speakers as I really like them alot.

The Sterlings are unloved, but they are quite good.

How come?

 

[audiomagnate]

I do not think the RS1 and 4.5 are similar to the bass. The 8 "of RS1 and the 12" of 4.5 can not physically sound similar, because not even the mechanical size allowed. The 8 "are much lighter and therefore much faster pulses. Watkins are cumbersome to some, and therefore can not be as fast.

The myth of "fast bass" was busted many years ago. Properly designed 12s, 15s and even 18s are more than fast enough to accurately reproduce signals up to a few hundred cycles. I'm sure there are audible differences between the two systems being discussed, but it has nothing to with the "slowness" of the 12 inch Watkins below 300 Hz or so.

 

[baco99]

How come?

Some think the Polydome tweeter is too imposing, too forward, and not as wide of a soundstage as the others. I disagree.

About the same time I got my 8 Kappa`s resto`d my second Modulus subwoofer has been repaired. (Long story but this has to be the most costly used subwoofer ever!)

Figured I`d take a group photo along with my Kappa II center speaker. Wanted to get the RS4`s in there also but just no room!

Now which to run? Modulus with stereo subs or 8 Kappa?

Hi to all,

at the moment I'm listening to the Sigma while dusting off the lastest addition to my Infinity collection. I picked up the Beta last weekend..... but it still feels like it's just a dream. Thought this was kind of a rare sight to see both together, so I took a pic to share. Sigmas are also in Santos.

 

[Twestby]

RSII's, Sigma's and Beta's ?!?

That's going to be one helluva room when you are done!

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I need to get back at it with finishing up the rooms. I'd rather work on my speakers. Maybe tomorrow I can squeeze in some time to set up all of them for a photo. Would like to get this done before I decide on which speakers I end up selling.... unfortunately this helluva room isn't that big. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.

have a good rest of the weekend,

Btw, you've got a great looking set up there Twestby. :thmbsp:
