This however means that it has to draw instant power from the walls.
Hence, be very careful with the power source. Do not use a power
conditioner that is not capable of delivering current extremely quickly.
The power conditioner, if not properly designed, could actually slow
down the amplifier.
One side benefit of this powered woofer system is that almost any sized
amplifier (within reason!) can be used to drive the G6.1. The unique
design of the G6.1 means that it has rising impedance below 180Hz,
relieving the power amplifier to drive just the speakers from about 200Hz
and up; the two mid-bass couplers, the midrange and the tweeter. 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 a very high quality amplifier of no less
than 100 watts as a minimum. The amplifier’s ability to deliver current is
more important than the stated power output.
6.5 Crossover
If the servo-controlled bass amplifier is the heart of the loudspeaker, the
crossover is the brain. In order to manage and maximize the
performance of the extensive complement of transducers used in
Genesis loudspeakers, we spend more money on the crossover than
many other manufacturers put in their entire speaker.
Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of
knowledge and experience. The inductors are made for Genesis with
OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for
Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil. The
crossover of each G6.1 weighs over five pounds (2.2kg)!
More importantly, the crossovers are designed with many, many hours
of music listening, and constant refining, tuning and tweaking of the
circuit. Out of this comes the “magic” that is a Genesis designed
loudspeaker system. For example, by going the more expensive route
of using several smaller capacitors in parallel instead of a single big one,
transparency and musicality were improved.
6.6 Vibration-free Cabinet
The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic
quality, vibration control, structural strength, and rigidity.
The design had to be bounced around our Chief Scientist, a structural
furniture engineer, an interior designer, an architect, and our CEO who
