Is this real or not? My friend swears that these are the real deal, but it seems like a load of snake oil to me....what do you guys think?

They're similar to a mega Infinity system:

Check out the DIY speakes on the front cover of the new Parts Express catalog. They look almost as good, and can be built for about $141,000 less. (I like em')

The Genesis 1.1 weighs 1.25 tons. Ouch. That requires some major structural modifications to the house. Look awsome though. If I had that much pocket change I'd buy them.

Buy a 10 cent widget and you'll be on the mailing list for a free catalog.
