Infinity IRS BETA Servo with Balanced Pre/Amps

I moved to NJ some years ago.If you know Dave Nemzer or ED Maron,as well as the GREAT MARKS we may have met.Also,do you know REINA,as he has a bunch of pals,some of which I've met.

Please excuse me.I meant jonathan valin.Scull really seemed like a genuine person,sadly missed by me at least!

He'd kill me if I said so,but,"He really liked the Shaded Dog stuff".Also his set-up of RS-1b's are driven by really old Krell bass amps,with a C.J. Premier 8 on top.The pre is an ART with the C.J. phonostage,andVPI TNT with(the piece de resistence)AIR TANGENT arm and TITAN cart.Trust me on this HE KNOWS WHAT GREAT SOUND IS,and gets it IN SPADES.So should you from the direction you're heading.P.S.I have been to quite a few REALLY HIGH PRICED and MEGA-BUCK set ups in the NYC area with owners that were totally convinced that they were audio-gurus,non of them can TOUCH my friend's set-up in terms of real 'HARMONIC ACCURACY" and bloom.My friend could care less about the latest craze stuff,or pricy,shiney,schmaltzy eye candy that is so much "IN" today."think Jonathan Scull here" for his rediculous obsession with everything that GTT AUDIO seems to be Pushing at the moment.My friend's set up is an incredibly well thought out syst.that simply leaves me weak every time I hear it.I have learned(from him) that to get great sound you must be a "thinker" more-so than a spender.

Rwd,That is a really nice offer,and I'm sure it would be a great listening session.I get the impression you are a thoughtful, decent person.I may have to take you up on that offer after we get out of the deep freeze.Maybe I could get together with you,and some of the other guys(DAVE and SID included)at HE 2005.We usually all go out for dinner after the show.

I owned these speakers some years back.I was FORCED to sell them because of a move to another state.PLEASE,PLEASE find a way to get these to perform for you.You will not be sorry.They were one of the finest speakers I've ever heard,when set up properly.Prior to them I had RS-1's.NO contest.The Betas were far superior to them.I miss them alot.By the way,I have a friend that had his RS-1 crossovers modified with great results,so good luck!!I,also,don't believe that the woofers cannot mate with the(fantastic)midbass panels.You need patience and determination.

RWD,I also owned and loved the RS_1's.The current market of speakers,even the high priced spread cannot compete with your speakers.My friend had his crossover done some years ago,and,the person no longer does this work.I would HIGHLY recommend calling Steve Huntly of Great Northern Sound(a mod specialist)and explain what you would like to do.He has done extensive mod work for me on my Audio Research SP15,to a shockingly good level of improvement.So good,in fact that my friend had the exact work done on his SP-15 with the same incredible results.I can tell you that my RS-1 friend is a retired music critic from T.A.S.and would not consider replacing them (the RS-1's) ,even though he's had them since they were new.He has GREAT ancillary equip.as well.As for your stuff,I've seen your equip.listing and pic.Your equip. looks fabulous.You seem to be very smart as to your component matching.Good Luck!

Truthfully I'm happy being on the edge of the N.Y. inner circle.I like my privacy,and find too many EXPERTS that are always preaching to me,as to what to upgrade to or how loud to listen.I get a headache very easily from crappy sound at high volumes,which is what seems to be the latest norm.If you make an effort to hear some of the "IN" equip. I think you would be surprised as to how much of it really sounds like actual music.Not much!What I've been doing is to selectively go to a few guys for interesting listening sessions that are more music based,as I'm tired of the audio merry go round.
