The Infinity IRS Reference III speakers with CJ equipment at the Alexandria Virginia Audio Show in 1979.
I had the opportunity to hear these at RMAF in my room after hours. Amazing sound. They have the best tweeter ever produced, along with superior crossover parts that other mfgrs wont spend the money for. I have been exhibiting at CES and RMAF for 15 years and I have never heard anything this good. They are a great value and easy to drive too.http://www.vaporsound.comthe CirrusSteve N.Empirical Audio
Wow Steve, I'm blushing! I knew you liked them, thank you for saying just how much so.
that musta been the same system i heard in alexandria at the old excalibur audio shop - that's the second pair of speakers, along w/the jadis eurythmies, that i mentioned in my original post. excalibur had an oracle delphi turnable set up - also the first time i had ever seen one of those...excalibur's shop was about twice as wide as the room in that pic - twice as deep, as well, i imagine. not sure it sounded as good in the room pictured here...doug s.
Same place as I heard the later pair of IRS V's. Did not sound as good as at the show as the room was way to small.I do have an Oracle Delphi MKI with most of the MKV mods! It is a great table!
I had a chance recently to spend some time with a pair of Sonus Faber Liuto's These were the towers with the cherry wood. They sounded amazing. The REL subwoofer was not needed. Amazingly detailed. I also had a chance that same day to hear a pair of Rockport Mira's.The room was setup for 5.1 but just the L & R speakers were playing. The jazz track played for me sounded like the band was in the same room as you. Sounded amazing. Creepy center imaging and very wide overall stage with lots of depth. However I preferred the Liuto's they just sounded more in your face, less fragile, and coming from a live sound background they had the sizzle in the highs on electronic music and a nice kick in the mid/bass areas.
