Importance of Center Channel in small room
If you want the best sound possible you can not go with out a center!!! With out a center you processor is splitting the information that should go to the center to the front left and right speakers. (I think everyone knows this) By doing this you... 
For the money, Best set up for HT and music
There is so much you can really do. Just to put in my 2 cents, I just set up a system for just under $5000 that has great 2 channel sound and fantastic Home Theater Surround. Try the Z series speakers from BG. Z7 floorstand, Z5 center channel, Z1 ... 
Looking for Pre/Pro with great 2 ch sound
I think the Casanova is the way to go. 2 channel listening is awesome, although I think the processing for home theater lacks a little. For the price you can pick them up for, I do not think there is a better product for the money. 
Genesis servo-bass amplifiers
What bass cables are you using? I had several problems with my bass towers when using the older audioquest cables from the bass amp to the bass towers. Several times through any music I would even see the woofers bounce in and out in an awkward fa... 
subwoofer 19 by 18 room
Try a sub from Genesis Advanced Technologies. The G928 is awesome. Price is a little high but well worth it. If you are on a budget, try a Z Sub from BG. Best sub I have heard under $1200. Fills the room, without a boomy box feel. It has 2 10" dri... 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
After the cable was quantum tunneled, it sounded much better. I do not pretend to be and engineer or a physics major, I just know when something sounds good and when it does not. I can tell you, if I was not there to hear it I probably would not h... 
Any Opinios on Genesis II.5
If you have room contraints the 5.2 or even the previous version 501 (from the new Genesis) will more then satisfy you. The quality of the newer drivers and crossovers make these speakers as good or even better the the older II.5's I have had just... 
Anyone own/auditioned new Genesis G6.1's ?
Both the 6.1's and the 5.2's are excellent speakers. In my opinion the 5.2's are far better then the 6.1's. I think that Benfmd might have heard the 5.2's either not broken in or not set up right. The 5.2's have more detail in both high and low en... 
Genesis 350 vs. Carver AL-III
Either the G350's, the Genesis V's the 500's or the 501's would work well in your room. I actually have put G 2's in a room with similar dimensions as well as G201's and they sound spectacular. I also have had the G 2.5's in a room that size which... 
Genesis or other powered subwoofer speak
All speakers listed above are excellent; however, the APM 1's and 2's are outdated. The 501's rock! I had a demo of these not to long ago and they are awsome! I actually just purchased a pair and am dying to set them up. If you need help finding a... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Genesis 200's, unbelievable. Close your eyes and you are at a concert! 
Tube vs. Integrated Amps
Well you could say it is a preamp and amp in one. Actually becoming very popular. 
Amps for Genesis 350's
I have the G200's, and I am using the Sonic Frontiers Power 3 monoblocks. They push out 220 wpc and sound real clean. I used to use a Krell KSA 300, but something seemed to be missing. I am very happy with the SF Power 3's. 
Best CD player around $2000 new or used?
There are many quality CD players on the market for $2000. I have come across a few Wadia 830's and they sound beautiful. If you can come across a Anthem CD-1 you should jump at the opportunity. The CD-1 is probably the best sound for the money. A...
