Other Notes: "Genesis Advanced Technologies was formed in 1991 to manufacture loudspeakers designed by the late great industry veteran Arnie Nudell, who was responsible, with Cary Christie, for some of high-end audio's highest-performing models when both were at Infinity Systems.

44"-high tower with a rectangular enclosure for the lower-frequency drivers and a truncated pyramidal section housing the front- and rear-firing 1" circular ribbon tweeters and the dipolar, titanium-cone, 5.5" midrange unit. (Unusually, this uses a pressed chassis rather than a diecast one.) However, whereas the earlier speaker had a single 6.5" aluminum-cone lower-midrange unit, a "midbass coupler" that covered the range between about 90Hz and 300Hz, the 5.2 adds a second midbass coupler on the rear of the cabinet, connected in opposite polarity to the one on the speaker's front baffle. The woofers are driven by a 500W switching amplifier, with servo control reducing distortion."
