there are far fewer detail-robbing room reflections from the room
than other types of loudspeakers. With fewer spurious reflections to
confuse your hearing, the program source emerges more clearly.
Imaging is deeper, yet more focused.
This results in a loudspeaker system that is virtually room-
independent. Also, because there are no phase and frequency
distorting reflections created, one can be transported into the
audience of the actual concert hall where the music was recorded.
The Genesis Ribbon Tweeter
Reviewers in the Audiophile press have often remarked that the
Genesis circular ribbon tweeter is the world’s best. It is a one inch
circular planar ribbon design crafted from an extremely thin
membrane of Kapton with a photo-etched aluminium “voice coil”
that is a mere 0.0005 inch thick. The entire radiating structure has
less mass than the air in front of it! That is why it will accurately
reproduce frequencies to 36 kHz.
The result of this design is a driver that has a rapid and uniform
response to high frequencies, and has the speed of the best
ribbon/electrostatic designs without the high distortion and poor
dispersion that is typically associated with them.
The G2.2 uses twelve of these tweeters configured as a vertical
line source. Because the output is distributed over many drivers,
each works at very low-stress. This dramatically lowers the
distortions in the high frequencies.
The G2.2 also use three rear-firing tweeters per channel wired to
the crossover out of phase to the front tweeters creating a dipole.
48inch midrange ribbon
We sometimes say that the midrange is a window into the mind of
a composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the
“magic” is in a well-recorded musical event. This is why the G2.2
loudspeaker system uses a single 48inch-long ribbon per channel
as a dipolar line-source to reproduce these critical frequencies.
The midrange ribbon used in the G2.2 is manufactured to Genesis’
exacting specifications. The ribbon itself is made of a very thin layer
of aluminium laminated to a substrate of mylar that is 0.001inch
