My Old Genesis II System
Here's a few pics of my old Gen II system from the 1990's. Carl can appreciate my Krell FPB700 in the bottom of my rack. It was a great sounding system. That's a Musical Fidelity CD Player and the very expensive Ayre D-1x DVD/CD Player with its separate power supply above it.
Best Charles Apologize about the quality of last two pics but notice the fan. The Krell FPB was truly Class A. It ran hot. I used two Genesis II subwoofer amps in an effort to maximize my subs, one stereo amp per sub using one channel per sub. Last edited by Charles; 01-07-2022 at 04:04 PM. |

A system I would love to call my own today! Just adore large panel speakers.

You are absolutely right. Will outperform many modern systems. Its main flaw was a slightly weak mid/upper bass, i.e., the transition between the subs and the panels was noticeable on some recordings. But I loved the system. Kept it for over ten years.

Weren't they great speakers? That was Arnie Nudell and Paul McGowan in their primes as designers. When you owned this model Genesis system you owned the best minds in the business. These were special speakers.
Best Charles p.s. And mine actually looked so much better than the pics, which are pics of twenty five year old pics I recently discovered. The Gen II's were gorgeous and heavy. Each sub plus panel weighed in at about 500 lbs. Don't let the wood fool you. They were heavy and extremely powerful. The treble and mids can't be beat to this day and the bass extended to about 16 Hz. Last edited by Charles; 01-08-2022 at 04:40 AM. |

Charles - I'll bet that Krell FBP 700 would have sounded great on your XVX's.
