Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers?


Just saw again a photo of the 4 RS 1B towers, which 40+ years ago was my 'best speaker in the world' (yet never heard one). 

I know there a quite a few owners still out there, and would assume they had a chance to compare them side by side to modern "Audiophile" (say $10k or more if needed) speakers. 

How do they compare? 

Or maybe links to source material where that question is discussed?

I heard the new IRSs when they were formally introduced.  It was the first truly mind-boggling experience I had as a young audio enthusiast (a developing "audiophile").  They single-handedly catapulted me into the arena of realizing concert-hall realism (quality AND quantity) IS possible at home. A 40+-year career followed, and continues today.

We provide performance mods for audio equipment and recently reworked a pair of modest Infinitys.  There is a replacement EMIT diagram that at least as good as the original.  

I can't image these being anything less that spectacular with the right equipment pairing in a large room.
