1.2  Placement of the Genesis 1.1 Loudspeaker  
The G1.1 requires a large room in order to give the speaker ample 
space from the walls so that it can perform at its best. A typical room 
size is 29 ft x 48 ft with 12 ft ceilings. 
A good starting position for the midrange/tweeter panels is 15 feet into 
the room as measured from the front wall (the wall behind the 
speakers which you look at as you are seated listening to the 
speakers) to the face of the speakers. You will want to sit 18 feet away 
as measured from the face of the speakers to the ears, and have 
approximately 15 feet (if available) behind you to the rear wall. Place 
the column of tweeters on the inside, and position the mid/tweeter 
panels so that the centers of the tweeters are 6 feet 10 inches apart. 
Next, position the woofer towers just to the outside of, and behind the 
mid/tweeter wings. Having the woofers diagonally six feet behind the 
midrange/tweeters work well. Placing the woofer towers asymmetric in 
the room results in a smoother bass response than if the woofers are 
symmetric. If you have a much more space and a wider room, the 
woofer towers can be also be positioned outside the mid/tweeter 
wings in an arc such that the center of the woofer cone and the 
tweeters are equidistant from the listeners.
