Made in the U.S.A. High Performance Audio at International CES 2018

For Immediate Release:

United States of America – Three veteran high performance brands, Genesis Advanced Technologies (Seattle, WA), Viola Audio Laboratories (New Haven, CT) and VPI Industries (Cliffwood, NJ) are honored and proud to partner in an all-Made in the U.S.A. system at the High Performance Audio Showcase at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Suite #29-233, The Venetian, Las Vegas, January 9th to 12th 2018.

“We want to show the world the best of US made,” said Mr Gary Leonard Koh, CEO and Chief Designer of Genesis. “This is not a system with the ‘latest hot-shot brand’ but the partnership of three great brands that have been around for a long time.”

“Genesis was founded in 1991, so this is our 27th year. Viola was founded in 2001 to continue on the legacy of MLAS and Cello since the 1970’s, and VPI has been around since the 1980’s,” continued Mr. Koh.

“I always say, garbage in, garbage out,” said Mr Mat Weisfeld, President of VPI Industries. “For the result to be brilliant, so must the beginning. We are honored and proud to provide the source for this superb system – the custom-order only VPI Vanquish direct drive turntable. It features the debut of our latest innovation the ‘Fat Boy’ 3D-printed tonearm.”

“With each new design, Viola sets a new standard in our quest for accuracy and sonic neutrality,” said Mr Paul Jayson, President of Viola Audio Labs. “The Chorale is brand new, and the first integrated amplifier in the Viola line-up of products. To reduce system complexity we integrate the preamplifier and power amplifier in the same chassis. In the works, we will offer an optional internal phonostage and also an internal DAC to make the Chorale a truly one-box solution.”

“The Maestro loudspeaker is the latest in the Genesis 5-series of products that started in 1993,” explained Mr Koh. “The iconic shape comes from the necessity of design to reduce the baffle area around each driver to reduce diffraction. However, almost every aspect has been improved from the previous generation. The cabinets and crossovers were completely redesigned from the ground-up, resulting in much improved coherence and seamless transition from the servo-controlled powered bass to the ribbon ring-radiator tweeter.”

“We are also providing all the support elements for the system – cables and equipment foundation,” continued Mr Koh. “When I couldn’t find cables and racks transparent enough not to color the music, we developed them ourselves. This system disappears to let the music through, and the cables are as much a part of this magic as any other component.”

“The system Gary pulled together for this CES shows that sonic neutrality and transparency is not clinical or sterile,” said Ms Carolyn Koh, COO of Genesis. “While accurate, the system sings with musicality and life. We will be enjoying the music as we demo the system at the show, playing favorites that are alive with gobs of emotion”
