2.02.2025 End of an era.

 ~*~

My buyer has left with his car well packed with large and heavy boxes. He tells me he intends to build an open baffle. I have mixed feelings about the IB components having gone. Glad to have the room they took up. Yet saddened by the realization that I shall not build another subwoofer. Lots of mixed memories of audio going back over many years. 

Thank you to those who have followed my journey. I hope it gave you some amusement. Perhaps you even learned something here. If it was only how not to go about these things. The journey is the thing. Greater musical enjoyment the intended goal. Good luck with your own projects, Chris.

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.
