  1. I see no one has posted here for quite awhile. I too am a Genesis Physics fan. I have a pair of the 10's, 20's, and II+ also known as the 2+ which came with the green surrounds, the first 2 came with gray surrounds. I have had to refoam the 10 and 20's, and they sound fantastic. I just picked up the 2+ and the woofers and PR's need refoaming. I just ordered the parts from PE. Next month I am going to recap it and put new binding posts on it adn maybe rewire it too. I am running the 2 way 10's (8" woofer, and tweeter) with an old Sherwood 7130 (I think that is the model #) 4 channel 38wpc vintage receiver. I have the speakers near the vaulted ceiling in my cabin and the sound out of them is amazingly warm and tubelike. I love to listen to them as I relax on a summer day and look out over the lake enjoying a cold one. I think because of the open/vaulted ceiling that there is better bass response out of these speakers than I had when they were near a wall on stands. My 20's are basically the follow up to the 2+ with the main differences being the 20's are wider, but not as tall. The drivers are the same, tweeter, 8" woofer, and 10" PR, but on the 2+ the tweeter is mounted out from the front face of the speaker cabinet about an inch and a half. With the 20's the tweeter is recessed into the fromt face of the speaker. Is the front face called the baffle? Anyway, the 20's sound great as well with more bass than the 10's, but they do have a more boxy sound. I think I have to play with the placement a bit. The 2+ are in the preliminary stage of rebuild. I just picked them up yesterday. I am intrigued by the difference in how the tweeter mount protrudes from the cabinet so much. I think it is because these cabinets have more overhang around the front baffle, while the 20's are flush across the front. I will keep you posted on my progress. If anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to try and answer them.
