Audioquest in El Paso Tx. had a pair of IRS5's back in the latter eighties. I helped set them up and the owner and I listened and tweeked them till midnight or so. He had a customer coming in the next day to listen to them. I thought the sound was superb. They need a VERY large room. Most homes don't have the kind of space they need. They sounded best out a good ten feet from the back and side walls. I went in there in 1999 and he had them back for re-sale. I was tempted as the price was right, $3000 bucks.
Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?
I've been looking at the very high value Arion speaker and it's called to mind a vintage speaker, the Infinity IRS. They are not the same speakers, but honestly I never actually got to even see an Infinity IRS in real life, let alone hear one.
I'm wondering if anyone has or even owns a quad (pair would be wrong) of them could talk about the sound quality and compare to anything today.
