Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?

regretfully and regretfully.  But that is why I think it would work.  Those of us that still have them love them and want to keep them forever!

@stephens770 I have seen a modified SC unit to use XLR.  Pretty expensive proposition though.  Contact Hartmut at Bayer Soundworks in Germany.

He also has a modern take on the crossovers.

I still run the bass with Threshold 12e but the mid/high are now powered by Manley Snappers after i lost the VTL/Manley Ref 100/200.

Funny, I have a spare never used VTL/Manley Ref 100/200 but could not find another one to complete a set.  Very expensive paperweight.

The past flames:

AR3a

DQ10

Mirage M3 (still at Mom's house)

Aerial 8b (still own them - on secondary system)

IRS Beta (on primary system)

@mofimadness wow!!!!!!!!!!!  I remember melting the crossovers after playing them for hours at high volume listening to Rush and Saga.

@stephens770 I read about someone trying it with mixed results.  

If someone knows of some Beta, Delta/Gamma needing restoration or being parted out, please let me know.  I am trying to get some L-EMIM to be used to develop new diaphragms and other updates.

Mine work fine thus I don't want to use them as blanks for that.

I know who can fix the L-EMIM!

I wouldn't mind a set of IRS V or 3 to modify to V specs!

@bobee i had seen your videos!  Very cool. I have posted varios on the Vintage Infinity Group on FBook 

@willywonka good idea. I’ll do it 

there is an infinity group already

@stephens770  whoa. I can imagine the spl potential of that setup

@totem395 yes im AK. Great group but I don’t recall another Beta owner 

@stephens770 where are the extra speakers these days?

@tweak1 i have not. I will!

i moved my speakers closer to the front wall yesterday. Brought soundstage closer which is one of my complaints with most prog records. 
 

where is everyone at?

I mean distance from the walls

@stephens770 thanks.  I started at 8' and now down to 70".  Referring to the wings - bass are at 60" and outside of the mid/high.  Going to try the Genesis recommended layout with the bass towers inside of the mid/high.

Just experimenting!

@stephens770 love it.  Check out mine.  On the pics they are 8' in.  Still playing with them.

Wondering if Dirac via MiniDSP (installed right before the Servo Controller) or a BACCH would compliment the Betas?

I appreciate thoughts.

@stephens770 thanks sir!

(this forum needs a like button!)

I ran the mid highs with VTL Manley Ref 100/200 and later VTL Manley 225.  Bass always with the Thresholds. 

If memory serves me right the Wavelet was a Dac/Crossover?

So what do you guys think of modifying the crossovers (not replacing aging parts with similar specs)?

@stephens770 "I've got an intermittent noise issue with my amp" ????

Have you figured this out?  Anything you can share to see if collectively we could help?

So my son asked to use my system.  I walked in and found him on a folding chair set dead center and about 2 feet closer to the speakers than my seating position.

He suggested we reduce toe in, the mid/high are almost straight, bass towers are hidden from sight from his listening position.

Have to say, it sounds really good with a great soundstage.  

What are your measurements?

wow, that was quick.  Good for you!

@stephens770 I can't find your thread.  Send me details ;) and location.  Also if you have spare parts, i'm interested
