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.

Eliminating the bass towers is a very significant change. Other updates aside, can it really even be considered the same speaker system? I don't think so.

I think the Tributes are worth it because the side panels evoke a 1970s basement apartment feel to them. Pure class.

I guess I have a use for my Infinity RS1B woofer towers now.
