Genesis 350 vs. Carver AL-III


I currently own a pair of Carver AL-III, my AL-III high frequency roll off above 18kHz and the low is not very good. I am thinking to buy a pair of Genesis 350 to replace to Carver in the next 2 to 3 month. However one of my friend told me both speaker ribbon drivers were identical, although I can't personally confirm that and if this is true, exactly how much difference am I going to get for my money?

Any input would be nice.

Thanks

It will be much better in the bass and highs, but as you know, the price difference is HUGE, so you're not really comparing apples to apples.

You could also look into speakers from Newform Research and VMPS for home theater applications and probably put together a nice full surround system for less than you'd pay for a single pair of Genesis 350s.

How much do you want to spend and what will your room dimensions support? These are questions that you'll need to address.
