Any Opinios on Genesis II.5

Thanks for answers. The 4 feet from wall is troubling me.
I can get them so far out from back wall but not from side wall. Perhaps to big for me.I have a friend here who is Infinty freak and he says that a big Infinty/Genesis will challeng my beloved Audio Artistry Beethovens and I would love to get it a try.

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?

If you have room contraints the 5.2 or even the previous version 501 (from the new Genesis) will more then satisfy you. The quality of the newer drivers and crossovers make these speakers as good or even better the the older II.5's I have had just about every speaker Genesis has ever made and can say that the 5 serious speakers are in my opinion the best value.
