Infinity IRS BETA Servo with Balanced Pre/Amps

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.

Hi Sirspeedy! I tried e-mailing you but was unsuccessful.

I have RS-1B's and would love to contact your friend who did the modification to the crossover. Can you e-mail me this information?
Tks!

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!

Thanks Sirspeed for you kind comments and complements. Yes, I agree with you also about the RS-1-B's. Every year when I come home from the NY Audio show hearing some of the best speakers around, the Infinity's compete quite nicely.

BTY... the retired music critic....could that be the "Great MRARKS"????

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.
