Genesis 2 loudspeaker system isn't for the faint of heart
If you thought a 6.5-foot tall loudspeaker was a touch too much for your needs, we've all ideas the Genesis 2 system will also exemplify overkill in your mind. For those who don't mind pushing the envelope (and emptying their wallets in the process), the four-speaker G2.2 could be just what you're after. The system actually places the tweeters and midrange ribbon transducer in one 6.25-foot tall cabinet while the eight 8-inch ribbed-aluminum cone subwoofers reside in another tower of equal height. As a whole, it can handle up to 1,000-watts of pure solid state power, and considering the 720-pounds of heft this thing's packin', we highly doubt you'll be rearranging the foursome whimsically. For those champing at the bit to place their order, we certainly hope you've got copious quantities of cash to burn, as the G2.2 setup will run you a cool $63,000 in the traditional high gloss black motif.

Ever since Genesis top brass left Infinity some 15 years ago, their flagship product continues to be a knockoff of the IRS-V, but with LESS woofers and no Brazilian Rosewood covering the 4 towers.

I thought these speakers resembled the Infinity IRS speakers extensively. Now I know why. I'm glad Engadget has started putting high end audiophile equipment on its site. While some may wonder why it's here, they may not realize HD doesn't just apply to video, but audio as well.
