In some respects the infinity's are better- better microdynamics. There is a smoothness and clarity that is in the Genesis. I have both& listen to both. . The RS1b is easier to place in a room vs Genesis 200"s. There is a pair of Infinity IRS for sale $9,000. They would be a catch. The kappas were Arnies attenpt to improve lower mid base & dipole design. VERY hard on amps. You would need a class A stable @ 1ohm-- something like Denon POA 8000 monoblock/Pass Lab. I have been searching for replacement/alternative brand speakers-- i have listened to wilson, sound lab, B&W, Focal, Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, Magico into the $125,000 dollar range--- none can touch the speakers. Sure, there may be an element that may be a touch better, but as a package. Arnie Nudell is a genius. My only wish is he get back in the design game.

Where are the IRS's for sale for $9,000? I am sure they need to be restored but may be worth it.

Oh, That is a bit high for Beta's. Retail was $12,000 and they have frequently been available in the $4-5.5k range. A set of NOS Beta's that hadn't been used recently went for $6.5k. IRS V's are a different story. That is why I was surprised.
