Genesis presents the limited edition Stereo Integrated 60-Watt Valve Amplifier and Monoblock 60-Watt Valve Amplifier. These products were created as proof of concept that a well-designed, well-executed, value-priced amplifier will drive any Genesis loudspeaker with ease, authority and absolute fidelity™.
While the M60 was developed as a value-priced product, quality has not been scaled down. Custom-made military-spec paper-in-oil capacitors with aluminum cans are selected and low-noise gold-plated military-spec ceramic tube sockets are used throughout."
When partnered with a pair of Genesis loudspeakers, you will experience unrivaled transparency, detail retrieval, dynamics and wide frequency extension. Our emphasis on absolute fidelity™ for our loudspeakers can at times result in a tricky load for an amplifier to drive. The I60 and M60 amplifiers were designed with this challenge in mind.
These amplifiers, together with a pair of Genesis loudspeakers, will give your entire music collection a whole new life. Rock-solid imaging complements the glowing midrange and characteristic valve sweetness. You get the richness and rightness of the best of this genre of amplifiers while enjoying hum- and hiss-free operation.
A great deal of the magic of a good tube amplifier is in the output transformer. Our amplifiers all feature wide bandwidth output transformers that are custom designed and hand-wound using high-grade copper and silicon steel.

Each I60 unit weighs in at 60lbs (27Kgs), and each M60 weighs 38lbs (17kgs). Like most of our products, we recommend that you lift with the legs. The chassis is specifically designed to control and manage vibrations and rests on conical metal feet.
Secrets of Home Theater and HiFi Reveiw
The I60 and M60 are entirely built using hand-selected, precisely matched components. Custom-made military-spec paper-in-oil capacitors, tantalum-film resistors are used in the signal path. Low noise gold plated ceramic tube sockets are used for every tube, and solid-core silver wiring is used throughout the signal path.
The I60 uses a hand-made, stepped volume attenuator made from precision matched resistors. All this is point-to-point wired on a specially tuned non-ferrous plate that is mechanically isolated from the rest of the chassis.
The amps are designed to accept readily available 12AX7, 6SL7, 6SN7 and KT88-type tubes. Each tube is tested for linearity and low noise, and then pair matched. Military-spec versions of the 6SN7 are used for their reliability and durability as the phase splitter and driver tubes in both the I60 and M60. Individual bias adjustment for each power tube also means that expensive matched pairs are not needed when it comes time to replace them.
Very little feedback is used - just enough to make the amplifier unconditionally stable and load invariant. Not the excessive amount usually employed to make amplifiers achieve better measured performance at the expense of musicality. Before shipment, each and every unit is first burned in for 100 hours. The tubes are then re-calibrated and re-checked. Only then is it packed for shipping.
