Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend?

My RS1-B's are about 28 yrs old. I originally bought the first pair of RS-1's from Lyric. Then I had them moded to the 1A's. The Arnie Nudel visited me and convinced me to upgrade to the B's. I dit that but also did some extra mods (somewhat similar to Sid's but not that extensive).

When I would visit shows or visit a friends home to hear their system I always felt that, as aged my system is) it still represented a great illusion of thew sound I appreciated.

My EMIMS have all been replace but my EMITS and woofers are all original.

A truly GREAT system (Sid's is better).

P.S. Good to see you back, Mark!

Guys -
This is most helpful and encouraging.
Keep the comments coming.

By the way, the system comes with a crossover box. Is that what I should be using or something else?

Thanks a ton .... and may your ears stay perfect as long as you live.

Now I just have to decide whether to keep and reactivate them, or sell them.

One more thing guys

For power, I used to use bi amped mode to power the RS Ib.:

- A couple of Krell mono amps (Krell KMA100 Class A) and
- A Mark Levinson (ML-9).

Is this enough power?
Are these amps up to the task?

Thanks

Hi Rick...Glad you are well!

I'm out of the hobby,after 40 years of it all.I'm currently back to my first love.Seriously studying music theory and playing acoustic guitar again.

Very rewarding

The crossover box for the RS-1's is needed,but the design can be significantly bettered by "updating/modifying" the crossover box.A good outsourced modify guy can most likely do this.

Good luck to all

KEEP the RS1b's - you can make them into world-beaters with some modifications, if you are up to it.

Here is a thread from AudioKarma where I ("Maxamillion" over there) go step by step through the modifications I did to my RSIIb's which have turned them into the best speakers I have ever heard. I'm sure you can get some ideas for your RS1B's from there.

In short, I built new outboard crossovers for them, upgraded the equalizer components, braced the cabinets, and MOST IMPORTANTLY installed the new EMIM diaphragms from Apogee. Those new diaphragms are head and shoulders better then the stock ones, here are links to the Apogee EMIM page, followed by reviews of the new EMIM diaphragms from folks who have installed them:

You are welcome to stop by my house and hear the RSIIb's in their modded state if you are near New Jersey. Just send me an email.
