5)If you have very light and resonant floorboards, you may need to place a heavy slab of marble, slate, or granite under the loudspeaker to avoid exciting the floor.

The Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier

The included remote-controlled modular Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier powers the woofer towers of the G2. There are three modules plus a power supply unit and numerous supplied cables in the standard configuration. Various upgrades are also available for the Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier – please check with your dealer.
