tlkohler 106 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Set-of-Infinity-kappa-8-tower-home-audio-speakers The original winner of the bid backed out after he heard how much they'd cost to ship safely. So I got the nod. After 110 mile round trip and 6 C-notes ... they now reside at my house.
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,465 Posted June 30, 2014 Community Admin Posted June 30, 2014 'tis a new kind of "vacation" ..., "Speaker-Road-Trip-Holiday" June is the month. I did a 300 mile round trip to pick up my Amazings and two TFM 55x on the first weekend, then Bean and now you! Who's next? Nice looking kappas. I like!
Bean 384 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Well hows about that.... I drive through Chicago on Wendsday... you wouldn't need to lighten your Carver amp load by a TFM-55 by any chance would you 1
galaxyoilcan 88 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 SA-WEET!!! I love these older Infinity boxes. I have a pair of RS-5 with the same great looking oak finish and the cool veneer wrap on the corners as yours. I also have several pairs from the Quantum line that got me started on Infinity speakers. Congrats on the new speakers.
Zoom 373 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Sweetness! Big Daddy Mark has/d a pair (of I think 8.1s) What's the power plans? (cuz I always ask)

fill35U 1,846 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Nice catch, Terry! Those look great! And good job getting those monsters home safely. Enjoy!
danowood 2,167 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Well hows about that.... I drive through Chicago on Wendsday... you wouldn't need to lighten your Carver amp load by a TFM-55 by any chance would you Wave as you go by Gary if your on I55 about 35 miles south of Chicago
tlkohler 106 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks gents. @Brett - I'm still learning the tricks of my Behringer 2496's but when it's complete 500t's for the low end and mid, (I have a pair of 4.0t' s that i can swap as well). Then 1.5t's for the highs. At least that's the plan as it stands now.

Thanks ... and your right it was like a vacation. Had Sammy on (I can't drive 55) at some point.

The only Gary I know is TNRabbit. I will be driving up 65N from Indianapolis to the Toll Road, hit 90/94 and then take 94 to the Milwaukee area.
dennismiller55 4,809 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Nice Terry. I have never heard these before but I have always admired their cabinets.
PMAT 2,038 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I Just did 300 miles to pick up pair # 2 of AL IIIs. Spent time on the coast where they resided. Got home and One woofer is bad but !!! The Ribbons Are OK !!!
00cbirdw 195 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Nice score Terry.....I'm sure you'll enjoy them
kve777 6,888 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I want to know how they compare to the Polk RTA-15tl's!

I would try that also during your rotation........
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,465 Posted June 30, 2014 Community Admin Posted June 30, 2014 Well hows about that.... I drive through Chicago on Wendsday... you wouldn't need to lighten your Carver amp load by a TFM-55 by any chance would you Even my wife would never let me do that ! I'll trade a 55 up for a TFM 75..., but that's about all I can imagine

At least that's the plan as it stands now. I've run as many as three M-500(t)'s and three M-1.5t's in my multi-amped main system for much of the last 20+ years. The best setup I found for bi-amping was to drive the highs and mids with M-500t's and use an M-1.5t (or 2) for the bass. 1

tlkohler 106 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 I want to know how they compare to the Polk RTA-15tl's! Kevin that will be on my to do list. I want to do some serious listening to both set ups once I get each setup dialed in actively.

The 1.5t's will handle either the mains woofer or my sub (going to try both with and without). The 500t's are the mids & upper end.
