On a quest for high fidelity
Welcome to the IMF Owners thread. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
There's a few of us kicking around here on AK. Of course you all know I'm a big IMF fan.
I've put together a bunch of resources for restoring IMF speakers in a post here.
I currently own the following:
IMF Reference Standard Professional Monitor Mk IV
2x IMF Super Compact, one will soon be modded to be like an IMF Super Compact II
I have owned the IMF TLS 50 II and IMF TLS 80 II in the past.
So what do you guys have or have owned in the past? Share your thoughts on this oddball brand as well. And of course, put up some pictures. :yes:
Here is a shot of when I had both the IMF TLS 50 II and IMF TLS 80 II:
You can see some of the non-original drivers in the second shot there, notably the square tweeter and the midrange driver. The bass woofer and tweeter are original. In the first shot you can see the crossover board of the IMF TLS 80 II that wasn't working, so this was basically the day I got the IMF TLS 80 II's.
Here's a shot of the TLS 50 II when I got original/replacement drivers:
Then I sold the IMF TLS 50 II's shortly after, and got my hands on the real prize.
Here they are in their original boxes, being hauled back to where they reside now:
And here they are unboxed, at home:
Next to the IMF TLS 80 II (yeah, I thought that was a big speaker!):
The box label:
The distributor for IMF speakers in Canada was in Quebec.
Then, an AKer gave me this set of IMF Super Compacts to me for free (yes, I couldn't believe it). One tweeter was shot and they were completely original, but after $200 in parts and some elbow grease I got them back to factory spec:
Picture removed due to being huge!! will repost
And then my latest IMF pick-up, another set of IMF Super Compacts from another AKer. Price wasn't as good as the first set but still very good.
The above isn't my picture, but the AKer's picture of them (hope ya don't mind ). When they come home, hopefully this week or the next, I'll put up some of my own pictures.
So, share your IMF's.
