In Reply to: Infinity RS 1B Please Read posted by Ampzilla on May 16, 2012 at 15:36:19:
I purchased the RS1B when it first came out in 1985. The electronic crossover was replaced by infinity just before they switched to the Beta. The original one kept shorting out. One Emit needed to be repaired and was by Bill Tahlmann at Music Technologies in Virginia ( I think he was surprised he could do it). Aside from the above the speaker still works perfectly and I have not found a replacement for it that has better dynamics, bass and flatter frequency response unless I am will to spend $200,000 ( large Alon). As Mike Kay at Lyric said to me two years ago - You cannot change the laws of physics i.e. if you want deep bass you need to move a lot of air. Many speakers are more transparent and have lower distortion but the dynamics and bass always kill the deal. With proper amplification these speaker will play very loud ( I use VTL 300 on the mid-tweeter panel and Perreaux 3150 on the bass columns). If you can find one on the used market in good shape I would grab it. You need a large room for them to blend properly. Sad to say we have not made much progress in the last 27 years unless you consider audio inflation progress. I paid $5400 for these in 1985. The Alons are $195,000.
