i've heard the irs 5's and hp's current fave, the 12,000-driver pipedreams. both company's "flagship" products are/were handmade one-offs, each having its own soinic signature that must be "tuned" to the enormous spaces (by volume) they require(d). perhaps, as the 1st time you ever encountered a naked dancer with silicon-filled breasts, you'll be impressed, even bowld over with these behemoths. in time, tho, you'll figure out they're just fakes that will sag like the rest of 'em in due time.
The Legendary (?) Infinity IRS V
I heard these in NYC circa late 80's and thought they sounded and looked amazing in rosewood. Does anyone have any experience living with these speakers? By today's high end standards, could they be a good buy at a fraction of their original $65,000 list? Were many made or sold?
