the midrange driver. This would tend to sound "boomy" in the mid bass 
regions. 
Another good rule of thumb is to first set the BASS GAIN control of the 
woofer 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.  
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 is wall to wall and with pinpoint focus, the speakers 
disappearing completely on a recording containing such information. 
4.4 Room Treatment 
No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic 
presentation it may be helpful to treat your room. 
Here are some guidelines: 
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 (the wall you face while listening) is treated 
or not treated is important. Generally speaking, 
the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live (hard 
reflective) front wall to a dead (soft absorbent) 
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 reflective 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.
