absolute fidelity
of the power supply in delivering the bass frequencies, resulting in
“floorshakingly musical” bass to power the servo woofers.
A further advantage to separating the amplifier modules of the left
and right woofer towers is that if you are lucky enough to have
multiple 20amp circuits in your listening room, you can power each
woofer tower with a separate circuit! This allows for even better
transient bass dynamics. The Dynamic Reservoir (from the
Genesis Reference Amplifier) can also be adopted for the Servo-
Controlled Bass Amplifier, which will give even faster bass
transients.
One side benefit of this powered woofer system is that almost any
sized amplifier can be used to drive the mid/tweeter section of the
Genesis 2.2. No longer must one choose between having an
amplifier with enough power to drive the woofers, and a smaller
amplifier having better spatial and tonal characters. Nevertheless,
we do recommend no less than 100 watts as a minimum for the
mid/tweeter sections.
The Acoustic Suspension
The suspension for each loudspeaker tower comprises three
elements:
1) The neoprene vibration absorbers are tuned to isolate and
decouple the loudspeaker cabinet for optimal imaging and
bass response no matter what surface the loudspeaker sits
on.
2) The skeletal frame acts as a tuned absorber. Made of an
inch of solid acrylic, no two parts of the frame will resonate at
the same frequencies. This ensures that all midrange
frequencies are “dumped” below the base of the cabinet so
that floor-borne vibrations do not affect the imaging and
soundstage of the loudspeaker.
3) The spikes rigidly couple the suspension system to the floor.
If you have hardwood floors and do not want to make holes
in the wood, use a copper penny (instead of expensive
“spike cups”) under the spike.
A pin-point suspension system is designed to pass all
frequencies. Using a spike cup under the spike will defeat
