Rare and Seldom Seen Speakers

[Bodhi1]

Infinity's last classic speaker project, the IRS Omega is a pretty rare find. But they were a brutal load @85db into 4 ohms, thanks in part to their 12" Watkins dvc woofers

The IRS Omega was released in 1998, 2 years after the penultimate model, IRS Sigma in 1996.

I have a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 Gen 2s that almost never come up for sale. Worth jumping on if you find ‘em…

STR Omega II, made in Sacramento, CA by Sound Technology Research in the seventies. There are 2 downward firing 12's in an infinite baffle, one 8" mid, and a Peerless 1" dome on the front baffle, and a rear firing Motorola Piezo which actual works well in that position. The crossover accommodates tri-amping. They put a lot of effort into these 150lb monsters, but whose ever heard of them?
