At the risk of asking an unanswerable question: how long should i expect the rubber surrounds to last on the older brown 200 woofers? I'm generally OCD about inspecting these speakers which are now over 25 years old. I did think about rotating the bass drivers 180 degrees a few years ago, but...
..... In the sense that I've bought a lot of expensive gear over the years, much from manufacturers that are either long out of business or under different ownership, that I'd like to keep running. Read an interesting article in Stereophile today (yes, I still read magazines ..... drive a Model...
Hi Gary, happy new year. I am curious what you are using for midrange in the new series 2 speakers? Did you buy up a bunch of BG drivers or is it a brand new design of your own? I think you had said it was the latter. BG drivers are fine on my G201 for now, but always trying to work through...

Curious for an opinion, or two, please. One of the BG midrange ribbons in my 201 buzzes/distorts on certain musical passages - but it does not appear to do it along the entire length, just at the top part of the ribbon. I can detect no breaks in the trace lines, nor any kind of other physical...
I've discovered, along the way, a huge drawback to Genesis speakers - namely, they sound so good that they're good for a lifetime; unfortunatey the amps don't last that long. Bought a spare for my G201system but never could find a spare for my G501s. Now I've finally blown the plate amp in the...
