Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it??

Hi all,

I have an opporunity to buy a pair of Infinity IRS Sigmas for $2,000. As you probably know, these list for $10K. I'm somewhat familiar with the Infinity IRS series, but that's about it.

Do these require a lot of power?? Could I find anything comparable for that amount of money?

This seems like s steal, but I need your advice.

Thanks!!

Leon, thanks for all of the background info on these speakers. Out of curiosity, do you remember what woofers were used in these speakers ? I know that Infinity had used some Watkins "dual drive" woofers in some of their models of the same time frame. Is that what made it into the Sigma's also ? Sean

My apologies for never following up on this. I've decided not to purchase the speaker for three reasons. 1) They simply will be too big for my room. 2) I don't have enough power to drive them properly. 3) I've fallen head-over-heals for another speaker. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Magnepan 1.6/QRs.

Thanks to everyone for your posts and my apologies once again for not keeping on top of this. Poor etiquette on my part.

Happy listening.

These speakers were on sale in the Netherlands and Germany for about $2000 brand new. They were not quite my taste, also because I preferred the Omega's at only $1500 brand new. Didn't buy either, just not the sound I was after.
