Any Opinios on Genesis II.5

I bought a pair of Genesis 2.5's on AUDIOGON for 7 grand and they are worth every penny I paid for them.Big,imposing,impressive in beauty and sound, they blew away the Infinity IRS Betas I sold to make room for them.These speakers will reproduce a life like and breathless soundstage.The better the source material the better the sound.I can also vouch for the fact the bass is chest pounding and sends chills down your spine.It is also very clean and tight as dictated by the source material.I ususally keep it at 50% power less I knock down a wall.I would say thes $22,000 speakers of 1995 can run with anything made today. Why pay 10's of thousands more?
