The Legendary ? Infinity IRS V

I just came across this.  I too had the good fortune to listen to Bill's  IRS V's.  They were among the best speakers I have ever heard.  Yes he told me of the mods and his own crossover.  I cant recall whether is was the whole winged Emim and Emit tower, but the amp was a low powered Antique Sound labs 845 tube based unit.  The sound was simply magnificent.  He did sell that pair much to my dismay, but he did have two and he made out well on the sale.The simple answer to the OP a couple of decades too late is yes  they are legendary, with the proviso that they were modded.He also sold a pair of IRS Betas which he gave me first dibs on but I didn't have the cash at that moment.  I always wonder if I should have just found a way to buy them.  He did say that unlike the V's the Emims on the Betas needed a high current amp.  I might have have something that could have worked.  I know I would have to find a top notch SS amp, that was Bill's advice and it would be foolish to doubt him.Trelja introduced to Bill an extraordinary speaker man.

I don't think so Joe.  I just bought an older Leyla ASL amp with 845s over this last weekend as a remarkable coincidence.  It is a single tube per side (22 watts). I will have to find an appropriate speaker to use with it, but it was hearing those amps at Bill's that I never forgot. Yes that was thunder, the world shook when those sub woofer towers were in action, as I said magnificent, that memory still shines, tung oil and all.
