Genesis 2 Floor-Standing 2-Way Speaker with Passive Radiator

At a Glance

The Genesis Model II is a 26.5‑inch‑tall, 37‑lb floor stander or large bookshelf loudspeaker made in New England in the Advent/EPI sound signature tradition. It pairs a 1‑inch concave dome tweeter with an 8‑inch woofer and a 10‑inch passive radiator, giving it unusually deep bass for its size. The cabinet is finished in walnut vinyl and the system runs an 1800 Hz crossover with an acoustic roll‑off around 45 Hz, delivering a 28 Hz–20 kHz frequency response. It is an 8‑ohm, 15–100 W design known for smooth mids, warm bass, and a relaxed top end. HUMAN Speakers still sells replacement drivers and a full K‑8110G rebuild kit, which keeps these viable long‑term. The speaker had a lifetime warranty, but the mfr went bust in '87. This pair has restored X-overs, new foam on the woofers and one is a less-than-perfect-match replacement; they still sound good and the bass is phenomenal. Pardon the glue residue on back plate.Read More
