Question

Which speaker is better between Genesis 5.3 speaker and Legacy whisper speaker?

Answer 1

I dont think there is a comparison possible. The two are different beasts with the Legacy in a very different league.

The Genesis has a 'powered' sub section. Couple the Legacy whisper with some proper class A amplification and you will cleanly surpass the Genesis.

Answer 2

I would ask the computer store people of the place you like to shop. They can help you.

Answer 3

You need to know the 'legacy' of each speaker.

Genesis is another brain-child of Arnie Nudell...the genius behind the 'real' Infinity speakers of the 70's/80's.

Legacy holds true to the thinking of 'classic' sound reproduction.

The Legacy Whisper is a no-holds barred speaker which demands EXCELLENT upstream electronics. The choice you make in amplification will be heard across the entire spectrum.

The Genesis is essentially a higher-end version of the current Infinity speakers. The fact that the low end is powered, for the most part, is not a choice of audiophiles. Audiophiles prefer to choose the upstream electronics to drive their speakers. Which is why B&W DM605's really didn't hit the mark with audiophiles.

The Legacy is more classic....the Genesis is a progressive speaker.
