cc1091 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I know there are a number of people who participate in this forum who dabble in speakers other than Klipsch. Since I am not referring to one of my Klipsch speakers, I posted here in the general questions area. I hope no one is offended. I recently acquired from a friend a free set of speakers. With his house remodeling going on, he didn't have room for all his stereo gear. So he asked me if I would like to take his Infinity RS 2.5s off his hands. Like any audio buff, I said "sure." Now this didn't come without strings attached. This particular pair of speakers has two of Infinity's EMIT tweeters and two of their EMIM midranges. As it happens, two of these midranges need replacing. Infinity doesn't manufacture replacement diaphrams for the EMIM midrange or the EMIT tweeter anymore. EMIT diaphrams are still available in limited quantities, but the EMIM diaphrams are scarce. When you can find one, count on paying good money for it. I was wondering if any of the knowledgable people here on the Klipsch forum could suggest a source for a replacement diaphram? I've heard of a german company that sells replacement units that can be installed with minor cabinet and crossover modifications, but I would like to keep these speakers as close to original as I can. Thanks in advance for any help CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc1091 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Here's another picture from the back of the unit looking toward the midrange panels. An interesting view for you crossover junkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/speakers/messages/199955.html They recommend Lyric HiFi in NYC and Orange County(?) - but maybe they can provide more info. Good luck! I rather liked the Infinity stuff from the mid 70s - lots of nice innovation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I have a nice pair of Oak Oil Infinity RS-4B's very nice speakers with dual 8's, with the poly midrange and EMIT tweeters. I use them in my bedroom which has an Infinity based system. They sound very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 This guy tells how to repair them. Old tech, but it could help if you can't use them anyway. http://www.bobbyshred.com/emit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
