Just wondering is the MS Genie speakers still rules the 'best-value' and 'best-quality' wall-mounted speakers in town right now ? Otherwise , which are the current competitors ?
I'm into like 60% muisc and 40% movies.

The MA Radius series are nice... but did you test the Antony Gallo Micro or Adiva too?i'm with bsimmer3000 and nheather on this one: the ms genie will not really be satisfying for music. it is very simple to check out. take your favorite music CD to the audio store and have the salesman demo the genie system in stereo (2.1 - that is, only the front left and right speaking plus sub woofer playing). that will give you a truer impression on how these small satellites/sub systems reproduce music. not even close to what cheaper traditional bookshelf speakers can do.
i searched and searched for a new satellite/sub system to replace our aging 25 year old stereo for our small apartment (my wife insisted on only ONE "SMALL" sound system). i tested and retested all the best brands with my music (mostly jazz - vocals) - genie, MS, sid-cub, cantons, quad lites, kef etc - and came away with knyght byte's recomendation: monitor audio radius 90 system. although lacking a bit in imaging and deep bass, to my ears it is the most musical and dynamic small sat/sub system out there.

looking back, i learned the best lesson from my mistake: only your ears and your music can decide which speaker system is the best for your requirements and budget.
don't be afraid to go to a lot of stores and demo alot of systems. don't rush, it takes time and enjoy the show (especially all the pushy salemen) !
