I was referring to The Infinity Reference System....asuming that the Grand is 3 ribbons on a subwoofer....and well....your wrong if you do.
For clarification, just how many ribbons does the Grand have atop its subwoofer?
It has two ribbons and a advanced planar magnetic with motion sensors that synchronize the woofer panel with the subwoofer. Like i said, write me with your number and i will glady explain the system to you.
two ribbons and a planar atop the two woofers.Back in 1979, the IRS used servo controls on its twelve woofers driven by three kilowatts of amplification. Great bass. Great midrange and top. But it sounded like two speakers.
And because of that the Grand suffers from this too right?
Having heard several state-of-the-art dipole ribbon/ monopole dynamic woofer hybrids over the past thirty years, I find their differing radiation patterns less coherent than what is possible with a single driver. Concert drums are particularly demanding in that regard since their range spans across multiple drivers in most systems.Every speaker system has tradeoffs. All of them. We make our choice based upon which one(s) most closely fit our preferences.
Good luck on your new amplifier choices. You might want to try some tubes on the mid/top.
