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.

The late Corydon Johnson rebuilt the EMITS and EMIM’s.

Chris spec’d new Woofers from Parts Express and I believe did some Mods to eliminate the “Servo” (accelerometer) part of the system. Paul did a Video on them about a year or so ago.

Ive listened to both Paul’s system at the factory and Corydon’s before he sold them after 40 years of ownership. Both were amazing and did all the Audiophile terms extremely well.   

Before he passed away, Corydon on his IRS V’s (purchased at Lyric HiFi also with ML-2’s on each channel) modified the EMIM’s so that they were a true fullrange driver thus eliminating the EMITS which he said were a pain in the Ass to rebuild. The Gentleman who bought the IRS V’s is currently extremely satisfied with the work Corydon did. The Woofer stacks were rebuilt (woofer surrounds reformed) but the “servo” stuff including BHK’s Amp to drive the stacks were untouched and 100% operational.
