Mordaunt
Short Genie Speaker Package
Mordaunt Short Genie, a classic in the making? Mordaunt Short
can hardly be awarded the prize for originality, the market
is awash with silver sub/sat systems that look quite tasty and
do their job well enough. But the Genie is different, and mighty
ambitious, for the all conquering KEF KHT2005.2 is it's prey
and that requires more than good looks. To explain the KEF is
something of a legend, the sonic qualities of it's parabolic
'eggs' are legendary, real audiophile stuff. The MS Genie attempts
to beat the KEF at it's own game, and, to a large extent succeeds.
The Genie is a newer product than the KEF and it wouldn't test
the bounds of plausability to imagine lots of MS people deconstructing
KEF KHT systems and probing their every characteristic. The
result is something quite predictable, but nontheless excellent.
Clean, detailed & bags of resolution the long run in time
rewarded handsomely. The Genies do sound marginally better than
the KEF's and the sub is certainly meatier, this is something
MS can be extremely proud of. The Mordaunt Short Genies provide
class leading performance, great build and quirky 'marmite like'
(love em or hate em) looks, and we heartily recommend them as
a worthy contender for your cash if you are in the market for
a audiophile quality discrete speaker package.
