19.01.2025 Has the IB found a new home?

  ~*~

 Another cold grey day. I have been dragging the IB components out of storage in the spare room. Eight 15" subwoofer drivers and the hefty power amplifier.They all seem at least twice as heavy as I remembered them. 

 I have it all stacked on the stage. An extension of the landing beyond the open stairwell. An excellent place for my years of experimenting with different audio systems. Without it being in the way.

 The SVS 16-46PCi subwoofer went to a good home yesterday. Now it is the turn of the IB subwoofer. In all its numerous parts. I have bolted four of the units together in two pairs. It is the safest way to carry them without a box. Their rubber gaskets meet. Protecting the cones from physical damage. Within the safety cage of their aluminium baskets. Doubly reinforced by their joining face to face. 

 The Behringer Europower EP2500 amplifier sits on the landing in front of them. Fitted with a silent fan years ago for domestic use. The original 24V fan was far too noisy.

 I have had an offer to buy at my requested price. Now just a matter of when he can pick everything up.

11.01.2025 IB subwoofer parts for collection only!

 *

 I haven't been posting here for a couple of years. Luckily I managed to sell much of my Hifi equipment a couple of years ago. That just leaves the IB subwoofer drivers, power amp, cables, mixer and test equipment.

 I have eight AEIB15 15" drivers. One set of four has an Fs of 13Hz. The other four have an Fs of 32Hz. 

 These were all imported direct from the USA and used in a very successful, true infinite baffle setup. Which I built myself in my modest home. As can be discovered in the countless posts here. 

 I have become deaf, lost my dear wife and grown old [soon to be 78!] Now with a serious heart condition. So I no longer have any need for any of my equipment. I am happy to sell it ridiculously cheaply to any enthusiast who would like to experiment with infinite baffle subwoofers. 

 Eight Acoustic Elegance AE1B15 drivers: All 8 Ohm and 15" diameter. With large, heavy magnets.

 A Behringer EP2500 power amplifier. Claimed 2x1200W.

 A calibrated Behringer ECM8000 test microphone. Boxed and cased. Almost unused.

 A small Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer. Hardly used.

 A large box of mixed cables MUST also be taken away.

 The catch is you have to collect it all from my rural home near Assens in Denmark. 

I live in the SW on the central island of Fyn. There is absolutely no offer of posting any of the equipment involved. Collection only! 

 The 15" drivers are heavy! Four are boxed. The other four have lost their boxes. Condition well used and dusty but working well last time they were connected. No guarantees are offered on any of the equipment as these are all being given away almost free of charge. 

 I may place adverts online here in Denmark. So get in touch ASAP if you can house an IB and own a car for transport. Or just fetch it and sell it on?

 Post a comment below if you are interested. 

 Thanks for your patience and interest.

Feb 22nd 2022 Equipment sales making steady progress.

 *

 Friday 25th Feb. March 9th /10th. 15 years since I started this blog. Where did all those long years go?
 
 The Naim amps and Linn Kans have gone. The LP12 is pending collection. I had the Kans on top of the 753sFs as stands. We needed something more "forwards." To overcome our mutual deafness when watching Netflix in our old age. We can never hear the dialogue.

 Somebody made a very low bid for the Mission 753Freedom Center speaker. Which I refused. I may have to bring the price of the Mission 753Freedom floor-standers down to excite some interest. They were great in their day but this is long forgotten.

 I'd had the Kans for probably 40 years. The Linn Sondek about the same. Though it was upgraded 25 years ago. With Ittok VIII and a DL304MC cartridge. Plus a Valhalla PS, new sub-chassis, bearing and springs. The Naim amps were at least 26 years old. I am hopeless at remembering dates and calculating age.

 I bought the Naim amps from the same dealer who rebuilt the Linn. With the proceeds from selling the rural cottage. Which we had rebuilt ourselves. From a pile of stones in a corner of a field about 35 years ago. Complete with sheep on the token roof during the "viewing".  It was ten more years before moving over to Denmark. Then starting all over again with another, detached, rural hovel.

 March 9th. The Linn Sondek LP12 has now been collected. On the same day that a latecomer offered a higher price ha  I was asking! A very pleasant chap from Copenhagen was upgrading his own Linn. At least it is going to a good home. The Linn Kan speakers have gone.

 Now I have somebody coming to look at the Mission 753 Freedom speakers. There won't be much left soon. I had better start thinking about what to do with all my hundreds of LPs, CDs and DVDs!

 March 10th I dismantled the 4x15" IB drivers from the manifold/box. Then removed the near empty, multi-shelf, equipment rack and the IB box outside.  The manifold can be dumped at the recycling yard as scrap wood. 

 Another large box of cables has been filled. The EP2500 power amp will be stored unless it sells. I may start with a new advert for the IB components. They were rather lost in the long list of equipment I was selling all in one go. I'm not sure anyone understood what the IB drivers were.

 UPDATE: I have posted on the Cult of The Infinitely Baffled to try and move the IB drivers and [quiet] EP2500 amp. 

 Anybody within easy reach can have the drivers and amp for peanuts on collection. Following the death of my wife I am clearing the house of as much stuff as I can. 

 The AEIB15 drivers in their original boxes weigh 12kg or 25lbs each. I only have four original driver boxes. So would obviously prefer collection if at all possible. Postage would be entirely at your own expense.  Assume 20kg per box for calculating postage.

 NOTE: These drivers are in Denmark, SW Fyn! International postage would be very expensive. With taxes to be paid outside the EU. 

 I speak English and Danish.
