Genuin FS 2 MK 2
Big sound: precision, speed, and depth. Tailored for everyone.
The new 12" woofer of the Genuin FS 2 MK 2 has the same technologies like the 16" woofer of the Genuin FS 1 MK 3. A powerful AlNiCo magnet moves a very good sounding paper membrane. The result is an improved Genuin FS 2 that then deserves the MK 2 tag. Structurally the loudspeaker is the same has the same dimensions and the same look. The sound has become more rich, the result and the improvements are in the same fields like the improvements on the Genuin FS 1 MK 3: more bass, more deepness and improved richness in the midrange.

News about the Genuin FS 2
40 years of Pluto turntables at Audio 21
Saturday, Apr 5 2014, %R Event, Genuin FS 2, Gioia, Gran Gioia, NetherlandsWhen I asked Marco, the distributor from the Netherlands, he was enthusiastic about the results of the show at Audio 21. Following are, more or less, his words:
The show went great! Lots of visitors, great sound, even AJ (van den Hul) participated personally. René van Es took the pictures (now in the gallery) and will write a show report of the day.
It was the first show ever worldwide with 4 Pluto turntables. We played with the Gran Gioia's and the Genuin FS 2's and for the first time with a complete van den Hul amplification set-up!
All the Plutos played with the new Crimson cartridge from van den Hul.
You can read a report on the event written by René van Es on the pages of Puresound.be page
Set-up 1: Gran Gioia with Pluto 10A turntable, 9a tonearm (Cammino wired) and vdH Crimson card, VdH Grail SB (Holy Grail) phono preamp. Pluto 12a turntable, Reed 2A tonearm, vdH Crimson card and vdH Grail phono preamp, vdH Emerald pre- and Excalibur mono power amplifiers, vdH 3T cabling.
Gioias in a static setup with Pathos amplifier and a Pluto 12A carbon turntable.
Living room setup: Pluto 12 A carbon Cobra with Pluto 6 A tonearm, vdH Crimson card, Sonore AC pre and poweramplifiers, vdH Grail phono preamp and Blumenhofer FS2 loudspeakers.

Audio Spring Time - Rotterdam
Saturday, Mar 22 2014, %R Genuin FS 2, Gran Gioia, HiFi Show, NetherlandsIn Rotterdam Music2 presented, as usual a huge setup in 2 rooms.
One room with Sonore AC and the Gran Gioia another with an Octave system and a Genuin FS 2.
The press was enthusiastic:
- Sonore AC is a new and innovative Dutch company. The combination of the Sonore amps with the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia's and the breathtaking Pluto Audio 10A turntable was really from the highest class! Even with only 3 days of burned inn loudspeakers I cannot believe it can be better than this. Absolutely amazing...
- When I arrived at the top-floor I could not believe what I was hearing. When closing my eyes I was listening to a live performance: High End at the Highest level!
