I have tweaked Genesis II's, they look like mini 1.1's. Mine have been upgraded to the last version ribbons and have upgraded wiring. The woofers are like the 1.1's, in separate towers and are now running on the last version of the bass amp and wiring. I had problems with the bass amp & service was terrible at the end of their Colorado run, took me almost a year to get it straightened out. I'm pretty much blissed out now, it was worth the struggle. I just started driving the ribbon mid & tweeter panels with BAT 150SE's...a VERY nice combination. For huge speakers these really do disappear. Hopefully Arnie will be up & running again, to support all the product that is already out there......these are keepers for me!
Review: Genesis Technologies G-201 Speaker
Category: Speakers
the Genesis 201 speakers are the best I ever heard before. This large speaker system literally disappear as sources. They throw the widest stage I ever heard images totally outside the speakers. The wall behind the speakers and side walls disappear with these speakers like no others I have heard before. The speakers are very quick on transients and never sound stressed even when playing extremely demanding pieces with very complex arrangements all the different parts remaining distinctly separate from each other. The bass is absolutely unbelievable when the recording asks for it to be. The air in my 20x23 room actually shuddered along with the entire structure of the room like their was earthquake happening. Very defined and quick also. I thought I owned excellent subwoofers before but these are in a different league.the top end extension is excellent also not lacking any air while never sounding etched or calling attention to itself.
