Genesis 2.2 Junior Line-Source Speaker Preview
Genesis Advanced Technologies, manufacturer of high-end luxury loudspeaker and amplifier systems announced the Genesis 2.2 Junior line-source floor-standing tower loudspeaker system. This is a gap-filler model that Genesis claims had been highly anticipated by their customers and dealers. Many of their customers and dealers didn't have a large enough rooms for the Genesis 2.2 four-tower line source system, but wanted the advantages of a line source. Hence, they integrated a pair of side-firing 12” woofers with the midrange-tweeter wings of the G2.2 and created Junior.

Maybe it's because it's obvious to anyone that looks at them that you have stupid amounts of money to spend on hifi?

Because line sources sounds incredibly good.....Originally Posted by GranteedEV
Firstly they are much less dependent on room and room influence is not so troublesome.... secondly distortion is non-existent because there are just so many drivers
What is unacceptable though is price tag for products like these, there is no way I can comprehend why there is such a price tag, it's just a bunch of drivers and I don't think they're so expensive, when that's said and done there's lots of diy line source designs out there... and a bunch of available drivers from Tangband, vifa, peerless and more that are suitable for such systems....
Perhaps someone at AH forums can take a challenge and design a no-compromise fullrange line-source system
The best speakers.... by a wide margin.... that I heard are line source systems utilizing fullrange drivers, ribbon tweeters and competent subwoofers
There is only NOW
