Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?
And, the 2nd pair in production.......  
Please settle a bet!
I am going to pretend I am an audio consultant ( retired ). As a music listener, what " musical characteristics " are you looking for ? Example : I own Klipsch Lascalas, tweaked and modified. They have the characteristics that are important to me....

Mark, very impressive that you owned them. ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ‘  
Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier
Yes, I have used Peel and Seal with excellent results. It bends around corners, is more pliable and easier to apply in many situations vs. Dynamat. But, I like Dynamat very much. There are other things available as well.  
Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
I hear some subtle differences in tone, but that is it. So, you win. Now what ? I still cannot judge the " sound ", and the " personality ", of an amp over YT, and it is not my ears, nor my system. Maybe, I just don't care. Enjoy !

@toddalin, I am not sure what videos you are speaking of, but in my statement of ridiculousness, I should have specified " meaningful " differences. Enjoy !

I also heard them at Lyric a few times, and at a customers home of Mike Kay. Large presentation and quite enjoyable. I believe Paul McGowan just retired his set, stating that his new flagship speaker is better in every way.ย  His YT videos allow yo... 
klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers
I am a BIG proponent of damping horns, enclosures and woofer frames ( electronics as well ). A good YT video by the " The Boston Audiophile ", he shows you how he did his CW IVs, and it was based on my recommendation to him. I tried several crosso...

@itsjustme, I made those specifics known on the 1st page of this thread, but unfortunately no one pays attention to me anymore. It does seem ridiculous to me to listen to YT videos for the purpose of trying to decipher differences between gear, bu... 
Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier
Do you feel you can pop the cover, and while it is powered on, determine if there is a particular area within the amp, the vibration is coming from ? If you can, I believe I can help you. Where are you located ( city ) ? According to the web, the ... 
Chip amps, not spoken about much, except on the diy sites.
As stated by @jasonbourne52,ย the Topping PA5 is a chip amp, and since I have been listening, they are not just for low end systems.  
Atma-Sphere Class D getting some love
Congrats to Ralph. I am sure they work with tube preamps, as Ralph would not have it any other way, ime.

Correct spelling : Hirsch, and tested and reviewed at Stereo Review, not Audio. I immensely enjoyed reading him, as I did Harry Pearson, and some others. JH was an electrical engineer, and dedicated his life to the audio community. Look him up. Gr... 
Chip amps, not spoken about much, except on the diy sites.
What I am finding amazing with this amplifier is, it does not have a sound, or a personality, of it's own. It truly takes on the information fed to it. Every amp I have ever owned, showcased both. But this amp.....NEUTRAL. It has transient speed u... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
Ever stand in front of a drummer, and listen to the immediacy, the impact and those dynamics, while at the same time, feeling it too. You can get this with the 901s. Hang them down from the ceiling; a flat, solid wall behind them; follow every set...
