Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?


Any Cincinnati, OH -based audiophiles on this forum? I have found only one truly high end dealer here, and they are leaning more and more towards high end home theater so they tend to be quite busye, and no longer set up truly "reference" systems one can listen to for calibration. Would love to get into touch with other fellow maniacs in the area Hard to know what else you "need" unless you can hear it and covet it in someone else's set up!

Hey Cincy!

Anyone know a speaker cabinet builder? I'm thinking of building new, heavier, more rigid cabinets for my Infinity RS1.5s. Would mirror image the cabinets too. Know anyone who can build some quality boxes for me?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Tom
Hey @reubent 

Don't know if this would help any but are you familiar with Parts Express? They have speaker building forums among others. Maybe someone there knows someone who would meet your needs?
@slaw  - Thanks. I didn't think to check with the good folks on the Parts Express Speaker Builders Forum. An obviously good source that I overlooked. Thanks! I'm toying with the idea of modernizing my Infinity RS1.5s. Overall, I like the sound, but they can be a bit sloppy on the bottom end. Was thinking a modern, dense, heavily braced cabinet, and mirror imaged, might get me everything I like about them, plus a more solid bottom end. 80's speaker cabinets were not nearly as solid as modern cabinets.....
You may want to reach out to Tyler Acoustics. They build reference quality speakers at factory direct prices. 601 E 14th Street Owensboro, KY 42303 Phone (270) 691-9500 Fax (270) 691-9600

Good luck.🍀  Sounds like an interesting project. Report back when complete with pics and perceived improvements. Tom/ Dayton, Ohio.
