Designs on the Genesis 1.1 Reference?

The only thing I am considering is how to locate the buyer, befriend him/her, and invite myself over for a listen to his/her system. Seriously, does anyone know where a pair of these can be auditioned? No, I am not in the market for a pair, but if a dealer had a spare minute, it would be fun to give them a listen and see what that kind of money gets you in the way of a pair of speakers!

I've got a friend with the Genesis 201's, and I own Infinity IRS Betas, and two pair of RS1b's.

Arnie Nudell's flagships (and 1 step down) are great stuff, if you have room for them.

Funny thing though, my friend and myself both prefer the sound of the older Infinity IRS Beta to the 201's. We both feel that the Infinity LEMIM (high bass/low mid planar driver) is preferable to the ribbon driver in the Genesis.

This is our opinion, certainly not meant to slight Genesis Tech in any way, their product is superb!

The Gen 1.1 is a statement, worth a second mortgage if you've got to have it! These days, enjoyment of great music is my drug, and I get a fix nightly. The tunes wash the stress and toil of the day away, sure, it was expensive to get to, but priceless in it's effect!

Anyone pondered on how to drive these speakers? OK, the subs are taken care of, but what is commensurate to the rest??

Cheers!
