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.

I know the Arion speakers well. They are a stunning achievement. Find another Heil type driver combo that can go down to 125 Hz and are efficient. They sound great and are incredibly adjustable for both balance and room. This is the type of product that deserves much more attention than it gets.

Genesis tribute speakers ? It’s the Prime I’m after, then you’ve the Arnie Nudell look with an Orchestra back up ! Just imagine 1200 lbs Per side, with a system total 24 x 12” woofers. So I need a bigger room again, its my dream ! Lol

Honestly what I think the bomb would be Arion in-wall speakers.  Zero floor space line sources. 

Whichever you choose, Linestage speakers rule, as long as you have the space to let them breathe .Some of the best I heard at Axpona were linestages.  They beat some of the megabuck speakers I heard.
