exceptionally large rooms.
exceptionally large rooms.
Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the
woofer towers 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. If the mid-bass is proper and the low bass is still not right,
here are some other suggestions:

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.

A Genesis loudspeaker system, correctly set up, can and should
provide a soundstage that goes beyond the confines of the walls of
your listening room, and yet with pinpoint focus; the speakers
disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.

3.5 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. The G1.1 loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore
there is sound coming from both the front and the back. How
the front wall is treated or not treated is important. Do not use
either diffusion or absorption on the front wall. The “focus lens”
used by some room designers is likely to be detrimental to all
Genesis loudspeakers.
Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live
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 highly reflective “live” 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.
