Genesis System

G1.2 owners seem to have a penchant for the Clearaudio Statement seen in the back.

Before the Air Force One, I would have recommended the Clearaudio Statement..... just saying......

(...) The room's 19.5 ft wide.

My room only needs 5 extra feet ...

Haha!

I made this customer extend his room by an extra 15 feet before I would sell him the speakers. His original room ended where you see the wooden beams.

Unfortunately, all his contractor did was to extend the room out with a cantilevered platform. The contractor didn't realize what a "high end stereo" would weigh. When we were setting everything up, I could feel the house shift beneath our feet. My customer ran outside, and had to get his tractor to hold the room up. When I saw the skinny 2 by 4's holding the whole thing up, I had to laugh.

Oh my word, forget the stereo...that's probably not even code at that distance of span without some solid engineering!

Here's another system - but one that looks like it is primarily for home theater. It's an older pair of G201's - looks like may be mid-2000s.

For a change, the entry-level Genesis speakers. This is in the beautiful room of Alain Provencher in Quebec, Canada. I did a listening/how to set-up loudspeakers session there a couple of years ago, and can confirm that it's a beautiful sounding room.

Typical building code is 4 hundred pounds per square foot. It is amazing how much money someone would put into
A stereo and not put ten cents to higher a competent GC. Any one who is LISC to build anything would know that. I am a electrical PE and LISC electrical contractor and I know that. Your lucky the room didn't cave in why you were there.

Just like the people that spend $10k on wheels/tires for a POS car!

 

[Alrainbow]

I guess. And I am in no way jealous of the person. It just makes no sense.

Here's a new picture that probably has not seen light of day anywhere else (well - except for the secret Genesis Owner's Group). He asked not to be identified, but it's a new home built somewhere in the Rockies. It's a Genesis 1.1 - from this perspective, the midrange/tweeter wings completely hide the woofer towers.

What a beautiful set up!

 

[garylkoh]

Another system that was just installed in California......

 

[garylkoh]

This was a long-time Genesis customer who kept his old speakers continually upgraded over the past 20 years. Recently, he thought that it was time that he upgraded to a brand new pair - likely to last him for the next 20 years........

All 3 are stunning shots, Gary! Thanks for posting...I can only imagine what that 1.1 setup must sound like.

what are the electronics? Do I see ARC?

Is that a ps audio P10. Also the distance seems to close for those speakers ??
Is this true or an illusion
Al

 

[garylkoh]

It's an illusion. The speakers are large, so everything looks small in relation. The seating is probably an over-sized comfy sofa.

It's all Audio Research with the G1 and one of the G2Jr's. On the third, it's ASR.

 

[garylkoh]

Here's where I am heading out to next to tune another system.....

 

[MadFloyd]

Where is that?

 

[MasterChief]

Is it Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?

I think you're getting warmer!
