| Genesis V -- how do they compare to bigger G's I won't argue with you on that - I doubt the Krell was a good match for the Vs. I started with a Threshold T200, which I loved, then opted up to a Pass X250 - great amp, but not the best match for the Vs. The sound lost some bloom, hardened a bit.... | |
| Genesis V -- how do they compare to bigger G's The Gens don't sound all that bad? Are you kidding me? One of the best speakers I have ever heard. Period.I will second the comment regarding the outboard amp on the V - the plate amps on the newer models are prone to failure.J | |
| Switch from Genesis V to ??? Thanks for the responses, guys. To answer a few questions, the floor is commercial grade vinyl plank flooring (sounds cheesy but is actually nice) over concrete. I am limited in speaker placement as there needs to be a walkway to a door behind the... | |
| Genesis V vs. 300 The midbass coupler is available here:http://www.genesisspeakers.com/I have also gotten midrange domes through Genesis themselves within the last year. Parts are scarce, but they do exist.J | |

| Genesis V vs. 300 Idog,I passed on the 300s - I guess I came here to be talked out of them, and it worked (my wife thanks you all...).I am currently using a Pass Labs X250 amp and X1 preamp. I think they sound pretty good - had a Threshold T200 previously, which I ... | |
| Genesis V vs. 300 I really like my Vs - just have this sick need to try new things... I saw a pair of the 300s around for a decent price and wondered if it would be worth messing with. I don't have a huge listening room, so the 300s would probably overwhelm it. The... | |
| Pass Lab X1 and X250 - Which XLR? Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Choices, choices....J | |
| McCormack or Pass Labs My X250 is on the way...Jim | |
| McCormack or Pass Labs Thanks for the responses, guys. I have a T-series amp right now (it's for sale on Audiogon).I was leaning toward the Pass. It's hard for me to reconcile how McCormack could get that much legitimate power out of a relatively light chasis, having re... | |
| Best SACD for under $1200 Thanks for the responses, guys - I'll give as many of these a listen as I can and let you know what I come up with.J | |
| Anything wrong with Treshold "T" series?? Sean is correct - the Hybrid FET-bipolar output stage (IGBTs) is no longer available, though I believe the new Threshold Audio, Inc. will bring select T-series up to current spec(for a price, of course). Jon Soderberg also works on vintage Thresho... | |
| best used speaker for around 2500? There is a pair of almost new Genesis APM1s on sale for around $2700 on Audiogon - these things went for $9000 new. Yes, Genesis is out of business, but parts are available... A very good speaker at that price. | |
| what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B" At least some of the Pass amps are classA/B. The X 150 is class A up to 15 watts/channel, then slides over to "B" on up.http://www.passlabs.com/products.htm |
