Hi guys, Through an aquaintance I got a set of speaker-boxes, unfortunately without the units (as they got lost during the battle for more sound by the original owner). They were originally built by a company named IMF, which I understand no longer exists. Their activities were taken over by a company called TDL, but I understand that these recently also terminated their activities. The thing I do know, is that these speakers were originally equipped with KEF-units, but also references to the following set are to be found: old version: 8" Elac woofer, 4" Elac mid, Audax 12 x 8 tweeter, Coles super tweeter. new version: same as above with TW 2100 F tweeter. I understand that these speakers can also be rebuilt using the following components: 8" woofer is : Kef B200 3.5" mid is : Kef B110 "ringed tweeter" is : Celestion HF1300 MK2 (super) tweeter is : Kef T27 I have been searching around the internet, mailing more or less anyone that has something to do with audio, transmission-line speakers and so on and came up with little information. I hope they can assist me in my quest to find replacements for the elements eventhough: About the cabinets I would kindly refer to the following webpages: http://www.frenchimages.com/marklev/IMF/ http://www.frenchimages.com/marklev/IMF/TLS50/index.html http://www.t-linespeakers.org/ They show an inside view to the cabinets, as well as their dimensions and even a brochure of the TLS series. I would greatly appreciate information on the availability of the original drivers/units and/or the ones just above. I was told that the Celestion or Audax tweeter would also be able to process the ultra-high without the use of the KEF T27, as it would be too shrill for the overall sound of the speakers. I would appreciate your view on the matter and/or an offer to restore these speakers. Thanks a lot in advance for any input and kind regards, Mo
