Who actually heard the Infinity IRS?

i worked at Infinity dealer in Ohio, displayed everything but IRS. I had a few occasions to hear and tweak setup, mostly with CJ Premier electronics and SOTA / Souther / Dynavector Diamond front ends. the towers were maddening to properly integrate…perfect on one recording, abysmal on another….

One customer with a massive LP collection said “ i gave up listening to my collection, now i just listen to whatever LP HP recommend ( the late Harry Pearson of Absolute Sound fame, who i believe took his IRS to the grave…. )

I have. The bottom end reminded me of the Earthquake theater experience. THEY sounded great with everything, just needed proper setup.

Erik hasn’t.

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.  His YT videos allow you to see his transition and room changes. 

My bad, we were not an Infinity dealer. I didn't have much info or lit on them. I guess at the time I called every EMIT type driver a ribbon. 

I have heard the IRS Vs at PS audio. The sound was effortless regardless of spls. I found nothing objectionable about the mid range. Quite the opposite actually. In the room I heard them, they have since moved them to a different room/location, I recall incredible detail with a soundstage bigger than the actual room in which they sat. It’s hard to imagine anything that could compare to the scale these towers produced. The only thing that even came close to this was a room at RMAF in which they were running the top model of Focal speakers driven by giant and I  do mean giant kilowatt mono-block amps (maybe mbl). And they running four massive speakers into a giant room. I believe the cost of that system was north of $2 million. 
 

If you’re ever near Boulder Colorado give PS Audio a call and ask for a listen. They are very friendly and eager to give folks a listen to their demo rooms. AND  yes they still have the IRS system in house.
