At one point I was contemplating a similar exchange for my RSM's.
Putting polydome where the 5" midrange is.
Figured I'd have to "trim" the faceplate on the polydome, in the end decided to leave them as is.

The collection has grown considerably since this picture but haven't had a chance to get the whole family together for a photo op since this was taken:

Will have to drag them all out of the garage and finish the restoration on the RSIIs and get another pic.

Also a pair of Infinitesimal 0.3

What kind of resto are you doing on the RSIIs?

 

[Brunt]

The cabinets were in pretty rough shape when I got them with water stains on the bottom about 2 inches, the paint was flaking or scratched around the woofer section, and the finish was unevenly faded due to the uneven sun exposure they were getting. I'm doing a full refinish on the cabs and making new half grilles for them to cover the woofer section but not the mid/highs (taking inspiration from someone else who has already done that around here on AK). While I was at it I also pulled the crossovers to recap them (I also separated the woofers and mid/highs to make them bi-ampable) and will refoam the drivers.

Here are a couple pictures of them during the process. I still need to finish oiling one and staining/oiling the other, then doing the reassembly and rewiring.

The odd arrangement of the binding posts is just something I did to avoid having to put holes in the cabinets themselves, this way the permanent modification to them is reduced to 2 quarter inch holes in the thin sheet of plastic the crossover plate is made out of.

[swechsler]

Did you build the center yourself? I've seen similar designs on eBay before.

And what kind of midrange do you have in the Kappa 6?

Hey Rat I was just reading the manual on the Emits and they say if turning the box on the side you should pull the tweeter and turn it so it's up and down.

My RS1bs after fixing all the small issues that needed attention.

 

[Jarre]

Nice!
Is the wood tanned in any way?

Cheers

If you are referring the the RS1b's, they haven't been stained but were custom made at Infinity through a customer request. The veneer is rosewood which was the standard finish on IRS speakers.
There is a thread I started that discusses them in detail and how they are different from standard RS1b's

 

[Jarre]

Aha!
Mine are lighter.

 

[jazzmans]

Aha!

Oooh, Now you've got to do an apogee/infinity comparison!

Which are better and when?
I have my maggies 2.5R and my RS IIb in almost the same configuration,

I switch between them all the time.(sorry for the dirty floor, I'd just unpacked another Carver amp) maggies are more transparant, but the RS IIb 'rock' a bit more if you know what I mean... I'd assume with the apogees, ? the same?
