Got these awhile ago and I don't have the time or interest in them. Never even plugged them in. Rather see someone put them to use.

It's hard to tell in the pics, are those inverted tweeters like in EPIs? (Just curious, I've got lots of project speakers already, they keep following me home.)
-
I believe they are.
-
I own the Genesis Physics Model 20s, big brother to these. The tweeters are inverted like the EPIs, but higher resolution drivers, IMO. I re-foamed mine thinking I would sell them, but they sounded so good I ended up keeping them. The crossovers in mine needed recapping, but it was an easy job as those go.
-
So you do own a pair of conventional speakers. I apologize.
-
I recall reading some about them when I got them. Urban legends or myths that Epi and Genesis were related or one was stealing ideas from the other or one used the others parts or a bunch of guys left one company to start the other. Perhaps they were located within close proximity of the other. ???

Check your PM please!

Got it, replied.

Interested

Had some interest here n there, but they're still here.

I refoamed these after hearing OBG's. No longer for sale, got them hooked up to an old Yamaha on the computer. Blows away the JBL 2500's that were there.
-
J2500s? JBLs, but Best Buy JBLs. Not a fair fight. I gave mine away.
-
I believe they are BB models, they were a gift way back in the 90's. I forget the whole titanium or not titanium tweeter thing. These do have the titanium tweeters.
And I agree, not a fair fight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are bad speakers. The tweeters do sound good. They were just made at a price point and corners were cut.
