Anyone own/auditioned new Genesis G6.1's ?


I heard these at a dealer while travelling out of town recently and was VERY impressed by a brief audition.

Anyone have any experience with and can offer comparisions to other speaks in this price range? VMPS RM40, ML "Summits", etc.??

I was set on purchasing B&W 802D's. I just happen to audition the Genesis 6.1 just as an afterthought. I am no longer considering the 802D's! The 6.1's are amazing. MUCH deeper and wider soundstage, better imaging. I plan on auditioning the new Genesis 5.2 next week before I make a final decision.
I just auditioned the new Genesis 5.2 yesterday. In short, the 6.1's are MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER in every way. The 5.2's sound like small speakers, with sub par detail dowm low. Of the three speakers I auditioned I would rank them in the follwoing order:

1) Genesis 6.1 (possibly the best speaker I have heard to date)
2) B&W 802 D
3) Genesis 5.2 (this is a distant third)
