Is it true Genesis is out of business?


I have heard this several times in recent months, and some people have found their website unavailable, but I have accessed the website often recently w/no problems. I think my Genesis 500's are the best speakers I have ever owned--of course, I haven't owned 'em all or heard 'em all, but these have remained in a constantly changing system for 5 yrs and I still love hearing them. If it's true that Genesis is folding, I'd look for great deals on the newer model 501's and other Genesis models. I've had several people lately tell me to stay away from Genesis, given their financial situation, but if I can get some of their speakers for huge discounts, why should I stay away? Is it because of warranty issues? My 500's have been perfect, and couldn't someone else fix a faulty speaker for me (for a price, of course) anyway? I have never had to use the warranty on a speaker, maybe that's just good luck, but I have never had one blow or melt or anything. Any other reason not to buy Genesis speakers at huge discounts, if possible?

Sarah, some of the Genesis parts may be proprietary, i don't know. As such, you might want to "scare up" at least one spare driver for each type in the cabinet. Should some type of accident or part failure rear its' ugly head, you would at least be partially covered. Same thing goes for buying "close-outs" of any type that you really like. Make sure that YOU have parts as the manufacturer might not. Sean
