Why are so many Infinity IRS systems for sale the past year ?
What are the Infinity IRS beta owner upgrading to ?
I still love my aging Infinity IRS beta system. I am still pretty happy with it. After overcoming the "12"woofer surround" issues solved by doing it myself after looking at all other terrible options . Now having concerns with my ageing amplification , my Rowland 7 are still great for the base especially after 2h warm up the pass labs 250 is at time a little "sickish" had it check but still just ok on the re Ch. So I looked into some alternative amplification but kind of skittish about whats available since the panels can drop to very low resistance and suck the live out of many amplifiers.
So after that, is there a new alternative speaker and amplification that makes the IRS beta owners move in a new direction ?
I have not heard to many set up that would make me look for a new system.

I've seen a number of pairs RS-1b's lately too. I sold mine because I heard the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a speaker I could get new for less than I could sell the RS-1b's for. Since the LFT is the better speaker, it was a no brainer!
I would assume that a lot of original owners have reached retirement age and no longer have the room, plus stereo integration into the common household living area has changed significantly since the late 1980s
Was a wonderful speaker but its time has come and gone.If you have the room and the right amp,preamp and cables it can still sound wonderful in the right room.Enjoy!!
Speaking to your amplification concerns, I’d imagine some of the newer class D amps could handle them. They put out a lot of power in a small package, run cool and can often handle difficult loads.

That is, if you want to keep the infinity's...
