I too was fortunate to have spent a few evenings in Sea Cliff, spinning LPs on the Goldmund and those big IRS speakers, along with the latest greatest amps. Way cool, revelatory, really entertaining, but the last thing I'd ever want to own.

A lot changed since the 80s.
Ever hear one of his Scaena or Nola Reference based systems in Room 3?
my time with Harry and TAS was early 80s, up till after the fire. I helped HP with the cleanup, and rescued a collection of slightly fire stained magazines from the dumpster, which I still have. Met him when a girlfriend's friend needed help moving out of his upstairs apartment. The whole house was shaking with Kraftwerk "Autobahn" and I had to go investigate.....
in terms of sound quality in the much larger post fire rear listening room. Both room and gear had improved significantly by then.
The Scaena's blended the subs much better than the IRS/Genesis IMHO.
The level of electronics and source quality were also in a different class. The 2301s were nice, but I preferred it when he had the VTL Siegfrieds. The Clearaudio Statement turntable was an absolute marvel of engineering. :)
At least the Genesis / Infinity IRS looked good.
These... oh my... those subs look like the kind of monstrosities one would see at a tuned cars SPL race.
A matter of taste probably!
The huge Eminence woofers only spoke when they had something to say.
A single capacitor provided low pass for the midrange drivers while a single coil provided high pass for the ribbons. Driver blending was pretty seamless with the mid driver array operating from about 70 hz to 6 khz.
