The similarity between these and the Genesis ones only extends mildly to the case of the amplifier.
Have a look at the Specs of this for Example:
Poweramper AQ60x 4 channel
RMS POWER
120W x 2 @4ohms
60w x 4 @2ohms
30W x 4 @4ohms
Signal/Noise 105db
THD .025%
Frequency Response 15Hz- 100KHz

The comparrison was made between these two- as these would be the most likely "sisters" from each company.
As you can see, there are quite a few differences between the two.
The casing- is pretty close, however- if you look closely, you will notice the Genesis has more of a high lustre shine- as well as Gold contacts. The Poweramper has a more dull sheen, and has black covered contacts.

Interesting piece of information. It should be noted that Genesis is based in Great Brittain and Power Amper is based in Florida. While the specifications of both amps are phenominal, I still did not see any reference to this being a Genesis knock off- or vise-versa. It is still highly informative and a company to look into a little farther.
Thanks for the insight! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
