Anyone own/auditioned new Genesis G6.1's ?

I was set on purchasing B&W 802D's. I just happen to audition the Genesis 6.1 just as an afterthought. I am no longer considering the 802D's! The 6.1's are amazing. MUCH deeper and wider soundstage, better imaging. I plan on auditioning the new Genesis 5.2 next week before I make a final decision.

Very good Benfmd. Yes, please let us know your impressions of the 5.2 as well.

Also, those interested, a "new" review just popped up at the excellent Positive Feedback @
www.positive-feedback.com/Issue18/genesis6.1htm

The reviewer, while obviously a Genesis fan (the speaker co., not the group) nonetheless raves and indicates that these are THE speakers to beat, in, at, or well above this price point.

Being a dipole fan, I am now wondering how these would compare to the new Logan Summits....?

So much gear, so little time and $$$ ;)

I just auditioned the new Genesis 5.2 yesterday. In short, the 6.1's are MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER in every way. The 5.2's sound like small speakers, with sub par detail dowm low. Of the three speakers I auditioned I would rank them in the follwoing order:

1) Genesis 6.1 (possibly the best speaker I have heard to date)
2) B&W 802 D
3) Genesis 5.2 (this is a distant third)

I was wondering if anyone had had a listen to this speaker, it seems like a perfect candidate for a nice powerful tube amp.
Does it play music or just HT??.
