Back when I was in college in State College, PA at Penn State (78-83), these Genesis speakers were some of the best sellers, especially with Technics or Yamaha receiver based systems. Yet it seems like I don't see them around much anymore. Does anyone know how many or how well a seller this line was? And more importantly, a source for the green foam surrounds?
I know I'd love to find a pair of these, but pickings are slim in my neck of the woods. |

You might want to build your own, you can get a cabinet from Parts Express: http://www.humanspeakers.com/diy/81.htm I've not heard or seen these so you might want to do some research. -------------------- |

I have some old genesis with green surrounds, i belive they were pretty big sellers, good detail in highs for the price, not the best mids and bass. I thought they were decent on lp very effciant in the highs and thats where the thrill of them end for me, allthough i know one person who swears by them, guess its party a matter of taste.

Hi all!
I fortunately stumbled across this site while searching for information on Genesis Physics speakers. Recently I rescued a pair of Model 10s in a fairly pityful state from their former owner who was tossing them out along with several other vintage audio equipment. of course I brought them home much to the disgust of my wife  This is what I have done so far: 1. Removed and tested the 2 tweeters and woofer for continuity - they work! 2. The woofer surrounds were completly gone. Carefully removed the rotten foam and previous adhesive. 3. Refoamed the woofer with new 8" surrounds from matelectronics. 4. Cabinet thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned and very lightly sanded with 200 grade paper. 5. Polished with Minwax Walnut to restore the original finish. In process: 6. Recapping the two crossovers 7. Getting new grill cloth from a seller on eBay Hope they sound good after all this  Will post pics soon. Rgds Mayank |

I know I'd love to find a pair of these, but pickings are slim in my neck of the woods. I have a very nice pair of Genesis Physics Corporation model 110 speakers for sale. The surrounds have been professionally replaced, and the inverted domes ore in superb working condition. The crossovers have been tested and all components work perfectly. The boxes have a few edge scuffs, and the grille cloths have a few small holes..but all in all these are remarkable survivors from a wonderful time in American hi-fi. I'd sell them for $175 plus $25 for shipping. Throw in 3% more if you'd like to use paypal. Thanks |
