The Technology
The Genesis 2.2 loudspeaker comprises four “towers”: two midrange/tweeter wings and two bass columns. Each tower is over 6 feet tall (183cm), and the cabinet is made of a vibration damping and

Design Philosophy
Nothing has changed in theoretical acoustics since Lord Rayleigh’s original book on acoustics published in 1877. There are still only two proper ways for a transducer to propagate sound in a room: a point source and a line source. Anything else, or everything in between, is a compromise.
In order for all frequencies of sound from the loudspeaker to reach the listener at exactly the same time, a coherent wave front is important - not just “time- alignment” of drivers. The ideal is either an infinitely small pulsating point or a pulsating line with a size on the order of the room dimension.
Obviously, a
