the mid-bass regions. Keep the low-pass below 115Hz except in exceptionally large rooms.

Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the woofer towers for proper mid-bass rather than low bass. The theory is that if the mid-bass is correct, then the low bass should be very close to correct. If the mid-bass 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.

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 goes beyond the confines of the walls of your listening room, and yet with pinpoint focus; the speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.

3.5Room 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. The G1.1 loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore there is sound coming from both the front and the back. How the front wall is treated or not treated is important. Do not use either diffusion or absorption on the front wall. The “focus lens” used by some room designers is likely to be detrimental to all Genesis loudspeakers.

Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live front wall. By these terms we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A typical wall of glass, brick, cement or drywall material is a highly reflective “live” surface.

A heavily curtained or sound-proofed wall would be considered a "dead wall" or a non-reflective wall. A normal thin curtain across a window causes only a small amount of absorption.
