aspen FR30 vs IRSV

The mighty Infinity IRSV was once Paul's reference speaker. Now they are PS Audio's aspen FR30. What's the difference?

IRS 5s are a wall of sound like nature intended

[lwdp]

If the IRSs were functioning, the tourists could actually compare for themselves.

The problem with YouTube Paul is, everyone is a expert, just ignore the naysayers, great video as usual 👍

[FrancisEVidal]

When Paul said they don't play the IRSV anymore at PS audio, one should understand that the FR30 can't stand the comparison. If not they would be happy to show people that they're new speakers are actually better.

Paul, you do you, you do PS Audio. Make a new reference whenever you want, and now you have developed a new one, I’m thinking that I could take those old ones off you, and I’ll even do it for free! I love what you do, and I love that you enjoy doing it, and you are unique in wanting to share your passion and insight.

I have a question. I have Sonic frontier CD player one. The motor went out years ago. I was wondering how I could get it replaced? Thank you

[PhineasFreakUK]

As with engines, in some instances, there's no replacement for displacement

[CycleMonger]

Well darnit.
Thats off my bucket list 😢
I wanted to HEAR them not gawk!
I should have visited Colorado during Covid?
Shame no one will get to compare the IRS to the PSA flagships.
The IRS now become a PS, as a static display.
Sad paul cant even take them home😢😢

Well, Yes and No! (Should I become a politician?!} 1 ~ About a year ago, there was an ad, the IRS speakers in Australia, probably the ones Paul mentions in, "99% True, " were for sale, $70k as I recall. A bargain! Ask to include shipping! And, about 50 other pair were manufactured! I recommended these for a Museum with a large Atrium, but did not hear back. 2 ~ Other Monster Systems? Please look here on Youtube at the Videos for Ken Fritz' system. Completely over the top! &, Ken does have the PS Audio P30 ~

Having listened to both on several occasions now, not it same room or electronics- I will respectfully disagree. IMO

[chuckmaddison]

I would love to come to Boulder and have a look. ( was in school with girl from Boulder )
I'm just not keen on sitting on a plane for 24 hours.

[Foxrock]

It’s because you guys rock…in spite of the rain…save me a new stellar DAC..

[stonefree]

Love ya Paul...but I had Covid BAD a few weeks ago over Bud.

[richarddarr]

Paul had the point side-by-side still be unfair.. one reason the IRS power by 6000 watt bass x 2 the fr30 you can take them home they would have advanced..

[TheAllisgreen]

Paul, you look like the IRSV's Pet's look like their owners? Can't find my cat.

[lcarliner]

If any high-end speaker renders the timbre of the bowed classical double base Von Ditterdorf's double bass concerto like that of a ball-park Hammond organ with just one slider in play, it would be disqualifying.

[robhughesguitar]

So if you won't sell those IRV Vs, how about you give 'em to me? I won't even say "thanks" or feel any level of gratitude so you won't feel like you've been paid anything.

[stephensmith]

The Infinity IRSVs are like a much beloved, tricked out '57 Chevy Bel Air. The Aspen FR30s are are like a C8 Corvette Z06. And later, an Aspen FR50/Corvette Zora?

[xiretsa]

Have you ever thaught about selling the infinity's?

12 x12" woofers must move more air than 8 x8" woofers ... and that array of ribbons must be superior to just one ...
