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.

Mejames - the way I see it, your system as a whole is capable of creating explosive musical experiences! One question: did you choose XLO over Nordost IC's (say, spm or valhalla)? Cheers!
Mejames, I compared XLO to spm & valhalla. I found the XLO more rounded, liquid in the mid-band, while the Nordosts gave more extension on either end and the mid-band was less prominent. Generally, both Nordosts sounded more "open". But then, I use ss pre/pwr. I was curious as to how these different designs fared on the Wolcotts... Cheers
