Yeah just a couple bones :lol:

I love the conclusion the reviewer comes to here:

During the last year, I've reviewed two surround speaker systems costing just under $20,000: the DALI Euphonia (November 2003) and Tannoy Dimension (October 2002). The Genesis 6.1 system costs $7000 more. Looking at the three systems from the outside, you'd be hard-pressed to justify the extra cost. All three have equal levels of fit and finish, with premium wood veneers, exquisite workmanship, and cutting-edge visual style.

What you get for that extra chunk of change is performance. The DALI and Tannoy systems had few faults, but the Genesis system delivered a higher level of sonic transparency, harmonic flexibility, and dynamic acuity. The only thing the Genesis 6.1 system had less of was harmonic character. Unlike the other two systems, which I described as slightly on the warm side of absolutely neutral, the Genesis 6.1's harmonic balance will be determined by how you set it up and adjust it, and by the other gear in your system. The Genesis' chameleon-like harmonic personality stemmed from its transparency and lack of coloration.

The only disadvantage of the Genesis 6.1 system is that fully appreciating its prodigious capabilities requires a first-class home theater. No $1500 A/V receiver, no matter how glowing its reviews, will cut it. Unless you mate the G6.1 with top-shelf electronics and a well-designed room, you'll never know how good these speakers really are. Like driving a Ferrari at less than 75mph, mating the Genesis 6.1 system to mid-level electronics is a waste.

That just makes me salivate everytime I read it :drool:

Yeah and I'll bet that $27,000 price tag makes some other anatomical parts pucker. :E :rofl:
