A Message from Genesis

The transparency, detail retrieval, macro- and micro-dynamics, and wide frequency extension of Genesis loudspeakers place great demands on the quality of amplification. Hence, to match the Genesis loudspeakers, the Genesis Reference Series of amplifiers was created as the finest musical amplifiers available.

The Genesis Reference Amplifier, together with a pair of Genesis loudspeakers, will give your entire music collection a whole new life. In a well set-up system, it is capable of transporting the musical performance into your room. The hiss and hum normally associated with vacuum tubes are completely absent, while retaining the richness and rightness of the best of this genre of amplifiers. Transistor etch and harshness are completely absent, while retaining the slam and control of the best of solid-state.

During development, we benchmarked against the best cost-no- object amplifiers – both solid-state and vacuum tube. While we were intent on developing a value-priced product, quality has not been scaled down. Hand-selected, precisely matched components are used throughout: copper-core silver wire with Teflon insulation is used in the entire signal and power path. Each and every unit is completely hand-assembled in the USA, and burned-in before final testing and measurement.

The result of all this obsessive attention to detail is a fabulously musical power amplifier capable of driving almost any loudspeaker in the world. The state of the environment is also taken care of with extremely high efficiency, instant warm up, and a simple, functional, and elegant design.1

Before using this unit, please take the time to carefully review the safety instructions and operating information contained in this Owner’s Manual. Becoming familiar with your new amplifier and the correct operating procedures will help assure you of safe usage, reliable operation, and maximum musical enjoyment.

1Some of the inspiration for the GR-Amp came from the sci-fi movies “Silent Running” and “Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future”.
