suspect late, perhaps intended for rear surround?
Infinite Slope .5 speakers - does anyone have promo material or any specs on this speaker?
I have been a long time Infinite Slope owner (multiple pairs of .6, Model 1, Model 2) and thought I knew all of the brand’s offerings from back in the day (they made a Model 4 I never owned plus various versions of their primary speakers), but stumbled onto a pair of speakers from them that are unknown to me. A previous post a year or so ago on a forum led me to believe these are .5 speakers (which I also found listed in the Audio Blue Book) but I have been unable to find only any kind of promo ads for this speakers, any specs, etc. Google searches don’t even return any images.
I know the company for a short time also made a home theater setup but this doesn't appear to match with those either.
These speakers are rear ported, about 11" side and 18" high. 9" deep. They are very heavy and don’t have the usual Infinite Slope label on the back.
Anyone out there have any of this information in their files someplace? See photo of the speaker. I have to also say that these things are very highly resolving and in certain ways I like them as much or more as any of the other Slope models I have owned. Now I just need to find a spot in one of my systems for them to live permanently.

not finding anything about the speaker OP asked about, Have a nap 1st, or you will nap during! This 24 minute video is Richard Modafferi (ignore the name John Miller that appears) explaining the ’advanced’ version of his Infinite Slope crossover (still used in some Joseph Audio speakers). Recorded 2020? Posted 2023? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcKHnhWLovQ Here’s a list of his Patents that popped up |
Anyone who has ever heard Richard Modafferi's Infinite Slope Crossover, in either JSE or Joseph Audio speakers will never forget it. The Bass Shift he uses in the Model 2's I owned combined with the Infinite Slope 100db/octave crossover is very hard to part with. Since 1973 I have had my current Electrovoice Horns and 15" woofer, now in Rosewood Enclosure. I went to audio shows in NYC for many years, monstrosity after monstrosity in too small rooms, never really wanted anything I heard until I heard the JSE Model 2's: I knew instantly, I wanted/got/had them for years, used McIntosh SS MC2250 to drive them for many years. Went back to tube pre, tube amp, these horns/15" woofers. My friend has my Model 2's, restored, I get to listen to them in the Firehouse he lives in. |
