General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Infinity IRS Omega Vs. Renaissance 90 vs. Kappa 9.2i

Not familiar with those models but parts/service is going to be part of the calculation.

I owned 4.5's for over a decade. Those had dual voice coil watkins 12 in woofers and the bass was excellent but sucked up all my Hafler 500 (had two biamping the 4.5's with its active crossover) and would blow fuses if I felt like Led Zep had to play for me in my man cave.

Infinity used to rebuild the emit/emim's for me and it was basically putting new saran wrap like plastic material back in the drivers. I recall paying around 75 dollars back when for repairing two emim's and two emits. They did hold up well and had it done once during a decade of pumping music through them.

If you could find someone to service them I would venture the IRS Omega would be killer.

I heard the IRS beta with separate woofer cabinet with a really huge emim
driver and it was fantastic. I suspect it could hold it's own with almost anything out here today.

Have Fun!
