Please Post your Infinity speakers

[Jarre]

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?

Hi!

Well, I did that some years back.
Sold my MG 3.6r. Though they look terrific they aren’t as dynamic like the rest.

Note that I have replaced all of my EMIM-membranes to ribbons.

Note that I have replaced all of my EMIM-membranes to ribbons instead.
This because I found the low end lacking output severely and didn’t leave over to the bass towers in a well manner.

graz emims? they look beautiful!

 

[Jarre]

Yes, those are Graz ribbons for EMIMs.

My theory was based on experience that membranes have movement restrictions all around that hinders a transducer in the low end frequencies.
EMIMs are very small with limited excursion.
When the original membranes get old they loose their tensions start slapping the magnets at fairly low volumes. That is distortion.

When I replaced them with ribbons I got a lot better output below 300Hz but couldn’t play very loud as the very flexible but stabile ribbons hit the magnets. I had Samarium Cobalt magnets that are much thicker than Neodymium magnets with the same magnet force.
That will restrict maximum excursion from any membrane or ribbon.
So I replaced all magnets with neodymium.
A LOT of work.
Before that, I already had to correct every vertical bar as they were twisted due to unsharp punching equipment in the manufacturing of those metal plates.
You can see that on EMIMs that have flat head screws in the back.
Those with cross headed screws seem fine.

Cheers!

Very awesome...

 

[deronb1]

Really like these little Overture 1s

 

[wjw300tt]

New black bottom and white top paint for my preludes and added a piece of wood. More work than Im used to.

Finally got my Kappas together for a "family photo".

Nicely staged!

Some day I may pull my two pairs of 3009, my two pairs of 3007, my ren 80s, my ren 90s, my RS IIb, my QE, my QA, my two Infintesimal IV, my rs 525, and my Modulus to stage a photo shoot, but don't hold your breath, if'n you know what I mean... (I'm leaving out my Qa and 3007 that are 'on loan') all but the two 3009 and 3007 are in rotation 'somewhere' in the house.

yeah, I have a problem, and the only solution, other then more cowbell is more Infinity speakers!

I suffer from the same Affliction Jazzmans. Those are just the Kappas. I also have RSIIIb, RS5b, RS10, RSb, Reference Four, Quantum 5, 3000, 1500, P-FR, Kappa Video II and CS Video. Had a set of RS6000 but traded those for some Adcom gear.

That's a good start man. Your are on your way! LOL JK.

Scratch built RSb clones using matched serial number drivers and white birch

 

[jefferylhenr]

Adding rear firing emits. Temporarily mocked up. Everything will go inside once all the parts arrive. And adding the second set of binding posts to BI-amp as well. These reincarnated RSb’s are sweet and clean sounding with an enormously impressive sound stage.

 

[Bahamayellow]

I got these kappa 5.1s about 2 weeks ago and they sound great with my vintage Sansui G8000 receiver. They love the extra power of 120 watts a channel. Sound so much better than the alpha 50s. Will end up getting rid of those after this crisis.

[thermoluddys]

I love these, I have a pair also.

 

[llanger]

Apartment living requires that almost all my listening is via headphones now.
If I were to buy classic Infinities, the Kappa 6 would be on my list.
I once owned Reference Sixes, by the way. Nice speakers, especially the Emit-R's.

The stereo on coke box is the beginnings of rebuilding my first stereo system I built myself when I was 12 to 15 years old. Soon I will be able to see how and if the audio world changed for me over the last 40 years. Getting back to the roots of it all.
