Any owners of Genesis Genre II speakers?


Hello,

I found a pair of these suckers in my garage, I guess they belonged to my dad. Hooked them up and the tweeters didn't work, so I took them out and cleaned off the contacts. The tweeters are working now but they sound hollow and staticy, which is a shame because the midrange is very nice. I tested them out with a Pioneer SX-880, not the best but it drives my Vandersteen 1Cs nicely without the high frequency static.

I'm wondering if anyone owns a pair or has listened to them in the past and know how the tweeters sound or are supposed to sound.
Thanks a lot, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I have had a pair of Genesis Genre II's for a long time. They were pretty decent if used with a sub crossed at 60 hz or so. The tweeters were excellent in my opinion. Unfortunately my midbass surrounds rotted out a couple of years ago. Now they are just another project in my basement. The Human Speakers website seems to be for some other Genesis brand.
