How do i get replacement drivers from Genesis


Hi, the original 60 and 72 inch ribbon tweeter was a Carver Ribbon. I heard Carver was back in business, but they dont make that ribbon no more. The replacement 60 and 72 inch ribbon was a BG ribbon. But here's my question. Genesis made custom made alluminum woofers, the midbase drivers and those circular ribbon tweeter. What happens if people need to get a replacement woofer or ribbon tweeter. How would you get them.

I could be wrong, but I think the humanspeakers.com site applies to the OLD Genesis company, not Arnie's. I also had not heard that Carver had made drivers for Genesis.

I think Bill A. from Genesis mentioned something about a forthcoming announcement that would direct people toward help and support, once the dust settles.

I also was wondering what to do if any of the many drivers in my Genesis 500's need replacing, but Human Speakers supplies parts for another line of speakers by an also-out-of-business speaker manufacturer called Genesis Physics Loudspeakers. I went to the website for info, but unfortunately these don't look anything like the Genesis speakers I own and have seen in the mags! I hope the Genesis Technologies company comes back to life in some form. They made too many great products to just fold up their tents and ride away.
The aluminium cones are mid-bass couplers. My V's also have two, visually different, 8" woofers. I am looking for the original manufacturer but haven't located them yet.
Any way we can pool resources on this issue? No-one I have contacted seems to know the provenance of the Genesis drivers...
Cheers.
A little of topic: I'm pretty sure those Genesis used Carver drivers. I remember the Audio Critic slamming one of the Genisis models and upset that here's some ribbon drivers that cost less than $200 each in a $60,000+ ($80,000?) system. To quote: "Where's the extra $50,000? The veneer?"

As far as getting replacement: to answer your question, it may mean finding an "equivalent" driver: i.e. one of comparable quality, or better, suitable for the application and with suitable Thiel/Small parameters. You'll have to do your own work in other words. There may be no off the shelf buy-this-and-put-it-in, but if you need to keep them alive and running it could probably be done and without nearly the headache as actually designing something from the ground up.
