The amps are designed to accept readily available

for their reliability and durability as the phase

The result of all this obsessive attention to detail is
an amplifier with all the hallmarks of tubes, and
some of the characteristics of an excellent solid-
state design. It has tremendous body and punch,
and great tightness and control in the bass.

The Genesis l60 integrated amplifier retails for
$3.495. and the Genesis M60 monoblock amplifier
retails for $3,995 per pair. Both are fabulously
musical and represent tremendous value and
performance.
