I recently bought a pair of Gen Vs that had all the drivers replaced from the midbass up. They are fantastic speakers, which are now available for unreal prices. I am in the process of trying to hunt around for a set of spare drivers, just in case.

I bought a Gen 750 for a center channel for $500 (Audiogon) and am quite happy. I also bought a Threshold T200, so I'm not exactly afraid of buying used equipment from companies no longer in business, as long as you can identify support BEFORE the purchase. In the case of the Gens, I did not anticipate Gens demise, but it looks like there will be companies willing to provide parts and service.

Happy listening.
