Looks like a nice speaker, Gary. They seem to have similar or 'the same' drivers/crossover components as in my Maestros. Correct?
Good luck with these new products.

Thanks K'Charles. For the G7-series, we have a 5.5-inch solid titanium cone mid/woofer. With your Maestros, you have a 3.5-inch solid titanium cone midrange and a 6.5-inch solid aluminum cone mid-bass coupler. The woofers are the same, except that in the Foxtrot, they are not servo-active. Over the past 4 years, I also developed a whole new line of capacitors for crossover networks - replacing the OEM RelCaps that we used to use.

Yes, we use the same drivers up and down our entire range. The "babies' of the line has 2 of the same tweeters that we have 26 of, in the Prime.

This is actually a really great review in that he also goes into the history of Genesis, and is absolutely thorough with his impressions of the speakers, and puts them through their paces.

I like to start my serious listening to any newly introduced audio component with some vocal tracks. From my usual suspects, I did notice that the Foxtrot loudspeakers favored the human voice. It could easily convince me that the vocalist’s presence, and was performing in the ‘same space‘ and breathing the ‘same air‘ with me,…eventhough I was seated eleven [11] feet from them, I could enjoy the intimacy of the voice.

I did not realised that there was an up trend to showcase high end loudspeakers at shows with Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Therefore, I decided to play the EDM track, ‘Animals‘ by Martin Garrix through the Foxtrot loudspeakers, and to play it loud!

Really, the Foxtrot loudspeakers were NOT faze by that EDM track! Even when the mid and low synthesised notes hit the audio den, and my sofa was vibrating accordingly,…each note remained coherent and in position,…within a cohesive soundstage and soundscape that encompassed the entire audio den!…

Is “Foxtrot” a new name trend based from Genesis (the band) albums?
