FS: Various IMF & Rogers speaker components. Drivers, cabinets, etc.

[Martyn Miles]

I have a pair of original IMF Compact Speakers for sale. The bass/mid. drivers require re-foaming, but the other drivers are OK.
The cabinets are in excellent condition, as are the grilles. I also have the original box and leaflet.

Two Rogers Studio 3 baffles, with the original bass/mid. drivers and a pair of brand new SEAS 19 TFF tweeters. Also the crossovers, which have surface mounted components. One works perfectly, the other has a dry joint I suspect.

Hi Martyn. I'm curious to know, how did you end up with just the baffles from the Rogers speakers?

Hi Martyn. I'm curious to know, how did you end up with just the baffles from the Rogers speakers?

I decided to keep the cabinets for another project.

[Martyn Miles]

I will accept £45 for the IMF speakers.
The cabinets must be worth that...

Hi Martyn,

Good Lord I never thought I would see another pair of the original IMF Compacts again. My dad, bless him, took me to London and after auditioning several speakers I chose the IMF Compacts and he bought them for me on my 18th birthday. They cost £50/pair in their day and were my first speakers for my hifi system and so I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to them....errrr that dates me! I sold them to a friend who I believe still has them.

They were really great sounding speakers and well worth refurbishing. Good luck with the sale!

cheers

Thanks, Chris.
I have some bids on the eBay auction. Someone contacted me and told me a similar story to yours. IMFs at 18 years old...

I have some interest in the Rogers baffles, but no bids as yet. I have also got a brand new pair of grilles to fit the baffles.

What are the dimensions of the IMF cabs please?

These are still available. The overseas highest bidder didn't communicate, but I have decided to leave using eBay again for a while...

Chris, I'm so sorry, I didn't 'clock' who you are :lol: You of all people here should know vintage IMF's and since you owned some of the 'Pro Monitor III's' as I recall (lucky devil) are very well qualified to speak on them as we share similar Saturday-Boy dealer ancestry :)

Once they've been restored, I wonder how they'd compare to what you're using now - in the mids at least?

How tiny were BC1's, LS3/6's and their relatives back then. My BC2's look huge in our sitting room now and I shudder to think how large the IMF Domestic/Pro/Ref Standard models would appear to be today. I'd love a pair of RSPM IV's, knowing what I do now... Surviving ones go for over a grand sadly now, despite crumbling foam line-liners and drifting caps :(

The IMF Compacts are no longer available.

David,

Yes the pro Monitor IIIs were a little too much for my small 10X10Ft bedroom but I was amazed at how well the Amcron D60 drove them with real control.

Anyway the midrange of the IMF Compacts I remember as been particularly fine for their price and would make an interesting comparison with my Stirling Broadcast LS3/5a clones once re-furbished.

cheers
