    I was in high school when the V came out. I saw it advertised in stereo review and drove 45 miles to Rochester NY the nearest Infinity dealer to hear a pair. I was so sad to find out that the dealer the dealer didn’t have a pair. I then drove 50 12:05 miles to Buffalo NY to hear a pair. Disappointed again. As a 16 year old it never occurred to me that the $30,000 price ( I’m probably wrong, it’s been a long time) would mean that I would never hear a pair. 😢 As a side note, my first real system was a pair of Polk 7c’s and a PS audio amp- thanks for the memories, Paul

    Remember when the original Infinity IRS used RTR Electrostatic panels used in the RTR ESR 6 and 15 before going with the ribbon type drivers. The RTR high frequency drivers were probably the finest ever produced. Infinity used them in a vertical line while RTR is a curved array. My store sold 12 RTR DR1 360 degree electrostatic mid and high frequency unit in a tower box with the 10” woofers and a internal 10” drive wired out of phase to provide negative pressure to control/dampen the two external 10” drivers in a sealed enclosure. . It was both very good looking speaker and the sound was superb. We also sold the Dr.Alan Hill’s “Hill Plasmatronic Loudspeake” and “Accoustats.”Except for the the “Ivonovac” tweeter nothing and I mean nothing could match the top end to this day. The only thermodynamic loudspeaker, plus it glowd lavender in the dark and killed mold and mildew from the burning of helium used in the creation of the plasma.
