That's pretty telling, and certainly very fascinating!
I've never heard the IRS V (or III for that matter), but heard the Beta on plenty of occasions. Must say, it could sound INCREDIBLE, ok, mediocre, or pitiful. Partly/mostly due to the amplification chain involved, but sometimes due to what seemed like poor quality control or matching with the big EMIM panels. I remember a Stereophile mention of that, and heard it myself at an audio salon in Orlando back in the day.
Have enormous respect for the design of the Beta. Still wonder why Infinity stuck with foam woofer surrounds though?
