I spent time yesterday listening to the G3 powered by the Soulution integrated amp. Wow, are these fun speakers. They are as fast a lighting, they produce nice lows and the integration of the various drivers appeared seamless. I didn't get to listen to my usual list of familiar tracks so I don't have a full grasp of their capabilities, but from what I did hear I was smiling

That's what happens every night in my living room.

The first couple times that I seen them at shows I completely dismissed them solely on their looks. Once I really listened to them I realized that they are something special. The tone and imaging are first rate. I also heard the set up where still one heard them in less than an ideal room they were spectacular. If you get a chance to hear them don't pass it up.

I am sure you have a smile on your face throughout your listening sessions.

Thanks, Jim. You're very kind. That's what happens!



Just have to be careful not to wake up the family with loud music

Hello Bart - I am really interested in the G2's. I have heard the G3 speakers and loved them, have not been able to hear the G2 speakers yet. I am curious how large is the room you have your G2 speakers in?

My room is 13.5 feet wide by 23 feet deep by 9 feet tall. It does have an open area in back to kitchen.

Thanks!

Barr

Hi Barr,

My room is 10 x 6 m.
The G2s have no problem to fill it.
Good luck with them!

This is my room.

G2 to seating area distance is about 11'.



G2s are located near the bottom roughly along the horizontal line marked 13' 1 13/16".

The seating area is roughly on the line near the top marked 13' 1 5/8"

The B1's didn't win me over but I really do like the G3's.

My only reservation is the treble, which isn't quite as sweet sounding as some others in this price range, though it's really only a minor criticism.
