Best Kept Speaker Secret?
I don't know how "secret" these are, but I love my Genesis Vs ($3700)

Pioneer Elite DV-47A
It will be fed into a B&K AVR305. I will have to sniff around and see how good a fit these two components would be - I must admit most of my knowledge is two-channel, so the learning curve may be a bit steep... 
my Talon Khorus sounds bad
You may want to think about dumping the Krell. A $14k (retail) pair of speakers deserve better than that integrated amp. 
would it be a huge mistake?
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... 
Feelings on Napster?
I'm a professional musician. Napster is stealing money from recording artists, plain and simple. Just because they're "artists" doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid for what they do. Don't fool yourselves, folks - it is theft.By stealing, you are ...

Best speakers for around 1000
Thanks to all who responded. Has anyone heard the Genesis 750s? Yeah, I know the company went down in flames, but I'm seeing some good prices on new or near new stuff. I've got 1 750 as a center channel between my Gen Vs, but I can't tell what a s... 
How do i get replacement drivers from Genesis
I could be wrong, but I think the humanspeakers.com site applies to the OLD Genesis company, not Arnie's. I also had not heard that Carver had made drivers for Genesis. I think Bill A. from Genesis mentioned something about a forthcoming announce... 
Is it true Genesis is out of business?
It's a shame - they've made some killer products over the years. I recently bought a used pair of Vs that were shipped to me without the amp cables. Thank God I got Genesis to help me resolve the problem (this was in the last two months) before th...
