Art, I've heard the G1s and the G2s, side by side.
I think they're very, very comparable.
Dic (Laurence Dickie) commented: "With the G2s, you get 95% of the performance from an enclosure that is 50% of the volume of the G1s."
The G1s must reproduce a couple of Hz lower.
But my G2s go quite deep.
I can hear notes that I didn't hear on the B&W 800D2 (driven by Accuphase gear).
By the way, I would have taken the G1s, but I made a very good compromise with my better half. ;-)
