Genesis - where are they??

Looks like they are gone. I had an interesting deal the two weeks ago. A guy in Atlanta that once owned HiFi Buys was selling a set of new 201s. He was asking 19,900 and when I contacted him via phone he had dropped his price to 17,900 shipped. He told me these were coming straight from the factory. Later that day he abruptly told me that the speakers were sold for 19,000. I found out that the factory had closed it's doors. I suspect that the speakers were never shipped. Too bad I own a set of 200's and they are one of the best sounding systems I have had a chance to hear. I only know of a handful of speakers systems that are in the same league. I was hoping to someday own a set of 1.1's. Looks like they are going to be real cheap real soon. In the coming months, when the 200's and 201's are going for 6,000-8,000 and the 1.1's are going for 20,000-25,000 you may want to take a chance. They are a great system. Just make sure all the drivers are 100% and the sub amp is 100%.

OK, one way of keeping our Genesis gear alive is to:
a) get part specs & manufacturer for speaker units.
b) schematics for the servo amps.

Is there anyone geographically close enough to make inquiries???
The models in play here are:
Genesis V (i use those)
Genesis 350
Genesis 500
APM1

I'll try with 1-2 dealers in Europe that carried Genesis -- just in case something comes up.

Cheers!

I just checked the website is gone and emails are being returned undeliverable. It is a shame that people are stuck after making huge investments in their products. The absolute sound has nudell new speakers and their was no mention about them going belly up. Maybe stereophile will have something next month. Thats why I chose Revel as they are owned by Harmon International. I had got stuck with audio alchemy going bust and that why I wont buy any Perpetual Technology gear.

Hi Genesis lovers,

I hope Arnie will make a comeback.

I believe there are always solutions for such excellent products, he can join other bigger manufacturers like Classe or Wadia did with other companies. I think Arnie had relations with Mirage - Canada before or .....

Anybody who is going to produce and store ribbon (and woofer) drivers for Genesis is going to get rich... I can tell you that!!

I own the Genesis 300 model with the new mid-ribbon (I updated on time!!).

Have a nice day

Dear Friends and ex-customers,

Sadly, Genesis has gone belly-up.

There are options for those of you who own Genesis product and need service...especially amp repair. A public announcement will probably be made within the next few weeks. In the meantime, if any of you need assistance, please email me at bapple@vail.net. I will answer if I can. No "what happened?" questions, please. This is on my own time, which I really need to spend finding another job.

Bill A.
