The big Gensis are back, but what about Arion?

Noteworthy to me in Stereophile is the release of the Genesis Tribute speakers.  $125K invocations of the IRS, minus the bass towers.

Honestly though before I shelled out that much money I'd check out the Arion Apollo speakers first. The low crossover point AMTs they are using solves all of the problems of the original IRS.

Erik, Our technology lends itself very well to an in-wall application.

It's all good. I feel very fortunate and never take for granted that I get to design and manufacture audio equipment and contribute to our industry. Life is good.

I immediately bookmarked these when I first learned of them a couple weeks ago, and I don’t do that a lot.  The three best systems I’ve ever heard involved Nola, Genesis, and Pipedream speakers, all of which were tall, line-array designs. If these speakers deliver a similar-type performance I think they’re a huge bargain.  Might have a tough time passing the WAF test tho, ehem.
