This is just my opinion. I don't believe that we have came that far in speaker technology in the past 15 to 20 years. The IRS and IRS Beta's were made back in 1980's. The Wilson Wamm, early 80's, the Sound Lab A- series electrostats, early 80's, the Quad Electrostat's early 60's! We have made advances in solid state / tube power amplifiers, DAC's, turntables, cartridges, power conditioners, cables, recording, ect....
Except for the MBL Radialstrahler speakers, nothing really stands out as being much better. The MBL's are in a whole different league from the rest of the pack but if you set up a IRS system at one of the "Hi Fi / Axpona Shows", I think it would do very well.
