  • Specializing in vintage Infinity speaker refoaming (we
  • designed the original Infinity-Watkins woofers)
  • In business 49 years
  • 4 day turnaround and all repairs guaranteed

  • We refoam in a different way, preserving
    original performance


    Dust caps (the dome in the center of the speaker) on vintage
    Infinity speakers are an integral part of the original design, and
    determine frequency response in the woofers upper operating
    range.
    The usual refoaming process requires cutting out the
    dome to gain acc
    ess to the coil, such that it may be centered
    in the magnetic gap
    with shims during the refoaming process.
    This destroys the original dome
    requiring replacement with a
    new and different one, as original domes
    are not available.
    The only way to retain original performance is to leave the
    original dome and its attachment
    to the cone intact. We do
    this by centering the coil in the magnetic gap
    electronically
    with test tones. The dome and its attachment are left
    completely
    intact and as original, thusly retaining the speakers original
    frequency response and overall performance, such that it will
    sound the
    same as when new.
