Aaagh memories, 1981, genesis 210's $450.00pr/new. I was a junior in high school. I gave them to my brother in MINT cond. about 13 yrs ago and just recently got them back. I completely refurb them right down to the grill cloth. Had profile 3's for about 10 yrs. still have a pr of paradigm mini 3se. This speaker is so freakin' good I will never part with it. They absolutely love my golden tube se-40. Have a pr of paradigm atoms with a vintage tandberg in the bedroom. Have a pr of virtuals w/a vintage harman kardon 300b in the basement, and am currently running PSB stratus silver i's in the main system. This speaker never ceases to amaze me, I don't care what amp, pre-amp, cd player, cables etc. You will get a different sound with every change. What really sealed the deal especially for the psb are NORDOST blue heavens. Sorry for the rant I felt the need :)
