Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Texas Components prices are much cheaper than PC. I payed $9.40 each for the ones I ordered this Monday. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Undertow,Texas Components is a manufacturer in Texas which makes their own resistors using the Vishay Z-foil (part # TX2575). I just ordered 4 of them yesterday. Just call them and order whatever you want (1 part minimum!), and they will make any ...

For electronics the Texas Components Z-foil TX2575 resistors will be very hard to beat. I use them extensively in my system and they are incredibly clean and clear sounding. Much, much easier to fit into electronics than the Duelund resistors (whi...

Note that Apogee also has an Classic Infinity Forum on their website now, for all you Infinity Enthusiasts! If enough folks post there maybe we can convince them to make EMITs, L-EMIMs, etc. as well as their excellent EMIM diaphragms!http://www.ap...

Tweak,I would think that a magnetic material such as steel would not be ideal for placing around crossover components, especially air-core inductors. That would definitely interact with the magnetic fields produced by the inductors, in unpredictab...

Read the Audiokarma thread linked directly above yours question, Hardtobme. One of the posters is adding pairs of the new EMIMs one pair at a time to his RS1b's and reporting back. You could PM him and ask his opinion directly. 
Zu Cable Libtec: Opinions/Comparisons
I run their Varial ICs and Ibis Speaker cables and think they sound excellent. Before the Ibis I had their Julian cables - the Ibis is a huge step up from the Julian. I like the sound of silver.

This thread at AK holds reviews from early adopters who have put them into RS1b and RSIIb speakers. So far it's unanimous - they are a big improvement over the stock, and can be added one pair at a time (i.e. the high mids in RS1bs) and still blen...

It all depends on the response to the EMIMs. Graz, the Apogee guy, spent a lot of time and effort engineering a technically superior replacement (they sound incredible, actually!) for the EMIM. If he can turn a profit, then he will move on to othe...

By the way, the owner of Apogee spoke with Harman, and they said they had no plans to ever make more themselves, so it looks like it's OK with them.

In any case, if the EMIMs sell well, then EMITs will follow, and after that perhaps L-EMIMs. If those sound as good as the EMIMs, those old Infinities will be giving some very expensive new speakers a run for their money!

I don't see how the patent could not have expired by now. These speakers were made in the early 80's, and US patents only have a 20 year life maximum lifespan from time of application filing.

Here is part of a review of my Infinity RSIIb speakers with these new EMIMs installed, by a gentleman who heard them at my house. I think it captures the sound of the new diaphragms quite well:"OK, now for the main course, the upgraded EMIMs with ... 
Zu speakers with Atma-Sphere M60 amplifiers
I used to own Druids and I auditioned an S30 with them. The sound was excellent, but if you like loud music occasionally, the S30 runs out of steam a little bit early for my tastes. I think 60 watts would be more than enough to blow the roof off w...
