If there's anyway you can hear different types of speakers you should. Those Infinity IRS Beta's sound great. I have to qualify this next statement as I sell Vmps speakers but somebody has some for 2700 bucks. They didn't win Best of HIgh End at the CES in 2002 for nothing nor get amazing reviews.
You should hear what you can. Two speakers at the same price will likely sound quite different. You're the only one who can say which sounds better. Good Luck
