front to back depth and soundstage properties of your system. It is easy, yet unproductive, to go too far in one direction (and if you move the woofer towers too far from the wall you may lose low bass extension and if they are too near the walls, you will create a boominess in the room).

Secondly, you may make the mid bass produced by the top of the woofer out of proportion with the mid bass produced by the bottom of the midrange ribbon. This would tend to sound bloated or thick in the mid bass regions.

Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the woofer towers for proper midbass rather than low bass. The theory is that if the midbass is correct, then the low bass should be very close to correct. If the midbass is proper and the low bass is still not right, here are some other suggestions.

A good balance between proper low bass extension and a deep and spacious soundstage needs to be established to optimize your new speaker's performance. This is because large space ambience information is largely in the lowest frequencies. The wavelength of a 20Hz soundwave is approximately 60 feet (20m), so if you want to recreate the soundspace of a cathedral, you will need to go lower than even 20Hz.

In order to achieve what the speaker is capable of we suggest you focus your efforts on a proper balance of soundstage elements that includes information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers, front to back depth well behind the speaker, excellent focus of instruments and voices with proper vertical information and mid bass fill.

A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should provide a soundstage that will “melt the walls” and with pinpoint focus, the speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.

Room Treatment

No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be helpful to treat your room. Here are some guidelines:

1.Front walls. This loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore there is sound coming from both the front and the back of the speaker. How the front wall is treated or not treated is
