Genesis G2.2 & G2.2Jr

The Genesis™ 2 version 2 loudspeaker system is the penultimate system for the music lover who accepts no compromises in the reproduction of the musical event but may be space constrained. Like the Genesis 1 loudspeaker system, it is the culmination of a 30-year legacy of reference-level line-source dipole flagship loudspeaker systems dating back to the Genesis I in 1993, and even back to the IRS™ in 1977. Not simply bought off the shelf, the G2 is custom-built in the USA for discerning music-lovers worldwide.

The midrange/tweeter 'wings' are now made of solid cast acrylic up to 1½ inch (40mm) thick to make an even more inert baffle on which to mount the drivers. The geometry of the wings was revised for more controlled dispersion and better integration with the woofer towers.

The Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier was completely redesigned. Taking advantage of the improved Servo-Bass Cable, the sensitivity and speed of the servo feedback control was increased. New Class D modules with zero propagation delay and higher current capability are used. Subtle changes in bracing reduced modal vibrations and boxy coloration in the woofer tower cabinet to practically zero. This resulted in even faster, more dynamic, and better-defined bass.

The G2 also features a unique suspension system so that it can be used on the many different types of floors encountered throughout the world - including natural stone tiles, slate, polished granite and marble, deep pile carpet, and suspended hardwood. Designed like the suspension system of a race car, steel spikes and an acrylic frame hold the loudspeaker rigidly and transfer any vibration to earth for best imaging and bass control. Neoprene shock absorbers make sure that vibrations from the floorboards do not get transmitted back up to the speakers. The result is cleaner, tighter bass, a more precise and holographic soundstage, and better imaging.

The standard finish a high-gloss black acrylic, but any other color can be specified as a custom finish. When you have a Genesis 2 system in your listening room, you have live music in your home and you have the best seats in the house.
