A Message from Genesis
Congratulations!
You are now the owner of the best loudspeaker system in the world.
The Genesis 1.2 Loudspeaker System is the embodiment of our
philosophy of “
absolute fidelity  ” – the ability to reproduce any
musical event faithfully, with no compromise, in your home.
The G1.2 is commissioned for the most discerning music lovers in the
world. Every system is custom made and personalized. It
encompasses the state-of-the-art in transducer, crossover, and
electronics technology and craftsmanship.

(IRS) using technologies conceived and developed since the Servo
Statik 1 in 1968. The IRS soon came to be known as the world’s
ultimate reference system for the reproduction of music. Fourteen
years later in June 1993, Nudell, in collaboration with Paul McGowan,
introduced to the world the Genesis I – a new benchmark for the
reference loudspeaker system. In 1999, the GI was upgraded to
become the G1.1, with a longer and larger midrange ribbon, and
ribbed aluminum woofers.
The current Genesis 1.2 embodies over 40 years of evolution and
revolution in loudspeaker design. Every single aspect of the G1.1 was
examined, down to the size and material of the washers under the
heads of the screws used to secure the wings to the Corian
midrange/tweeter panel, in the quest to improve on perfection.
The G1.2 is the current ultimate reference for the reproduction of
music. Whereas many other products might excel in one or more key
areas, the G1.2 excels in every important aspect of sound
