Genesis Advanced Technologies is happy to announce three new and improved models in the Genesis 7.2-series of high-end stereo loudspeakers shipping immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we launched the 7-series in 2005, I thought that it was time to update it with new materials and incorporating what we’ve learned in the past 5 years,\u201d<\/em> said Mr. Gary Leonard Koh, CEO of Genesis. \u201cThe 7-series has always been known for delivering more sound than they had any right to at their size and price. Hence any improvement we made first had to preserve all that was good before refinements could be made.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI am an advocate for the right speaker for the right room,\u201d<\/em> continued Mr. Koh. \u201cIn a small room, a large loudspeaker would over-power the room and this would result in boomy bass and a loss of articulation. The Genesis 7-series are designed without compromise for small rooms \u2013 rooms that would be too small to accommodate one of our larger loudspeakers. The more expensive Genesis loudspeakers are not necessarily better, they are just larger, and would need a larger room to really sing. We don’t use cheaper drivers or cheaper crossover parts or take manufacturing shortcuts with the 7-series loudspeakers. We just make them smaller.”<\/em>.<\/p>\n Genesis 7 Series<\/strong> Despite being diminutive in size, all members of the G7-series displays spectacular imaging, casts a huge soundstage, and sound very much larger than they look. Using innovative technology, all members of the series deliver full, tight, accurate and tuneful bass from a small loudspeaker.<\/p>\n World’s Best Tweeter<\/strong> With this tweeter, you get the air in cymbals and triangles, and the sweetness and lack of distortion associated with the finest ribbon tweeter in the world. An adjustable high frequency control allows it to be attenuated when used in \u201cbright\u201d rooms with lots of hard surfaces and bare walls, and yet also boosted when used in rooms that have lots of carpeting and wall hangings that would otherwise make music sound dull.<\/p>\n Clarity and Dynamics Through the Midrange<\/strong> To achieve the delicacy, speed, transparency, and dynamic bass response of the larger Genesis 3-way systems in a little 2-way loudspeaker, we needed a mid-woofer that had low mass and high stiffness. Titanium represented the material with the best mix of these properties in this particular application. Being much stronger and stiffer than aluminum, the cone could be made thinner so that it was much lighter than an equivalent aluminum cone, and without the cost and brittleness of magnesium.<\/p>\n However, titanium had not previously been used because of the difficulty of making the cone large enough to handle bass frequencies. With advancing technology, the world’s first 5.5-inch solid titanium cone mid-woofer was produced exclusively for the first Genesis 7-series loudspeakers.<\/p>\n The resulting driver was fast enough to mate with the Genesis ribbon tweeter, resulting in seamless integration between the mid and the highs, and sounding like it was cut from the same sonic cloth. It was also large enough and had sufficient excursion to give the G7p and G7c surprising bass for the footprint without a woofer.<\/p>\n The proprietary mid-woofer delivers a warm and rich sound without any distortion. While it is true that some metal drivers can sound \u201cmetallic\u201d, that is due to the oil-can resonance of the cone. However, since metal drivers only have the one large distortion frequency, there is almost zero distortion outside of that one band. It sounds beautifully clean if that frequency is never excited. In the G7-series, that resonant frequency is far outside the operating range used for the mid-woofer.<\/p>\n The Dipole Advantage<\/strong> Innovative Crossover Topology<\/strong> This allows any speaker in the G7-series to play all genre of music, from rock to rhumba to renaissance. An innovative passive bass contour control (or servo-controlled active bass in the G7f) allows adjustment of the bass when near-wall positionining is desired, and delivers astonishing bass out of very small cabinets. A deep and expansive soundstage with solid, pinpoint images complete the sonic picture, transporting the listener to the live musical event.<\/p>\n MSRP on the Genesis 7-series are as follows:<\/strong><\/em> All models are finished in a high-gloss black\/titanium.<\/p>\n
\nPetite, elegant and yet commanding attention absolute fidelity\u00ae sound, the Genesis 7-series high-end loudspeakers are the \u201caffordable reference\u201d for making music in the home. Comprising 3 models, the floor-standing G7f, the convertible G7c, and the petite G7p stand-mounted monitor, the G7-series stands proudly in the Genesis family of high-end stereo loudspeakers. With the G7c doing converting between center-channel duties, and as a larger stand-mounted monitor, the G7-series family does movies as well.<\/p>\n
\nThe Genesis ring-ribbon<\/em> tweeter used in the G7-series is identical to the one used in the Genesis 1 flagship model. It has been regarded by critics and press as the best tweeter in the world and has been steadily improved since it was developed in 1992. The latest generation of this Genesis tweeter brings an extended frequency range, as well as a more linear response in the lower frequencies.<\/p>\n
\nThe G7 series has a warmth to its sound that is not created by an excess of energy in the lower midrange, but by distortion-free mids and highs because of the Genesis solid titanium-cone mid-woofer.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWith a rear tweeter driven out of phase from the front tweeter, the G7’s are dipoles in the high frequencies, enhancing “air” , soundstage and imaging when the speakers are positioned away from the wall behind them. When used closer to the walls when space is at a premium, the rear tweeter can be switched off.<\/p>\n
\nThe Genesis crossover topology imbues the G7-series with effortless dynamics and intense foot-tapping musicality by perfectly blending the supremely fast ribbon tweeter with the solid titanium mid-woofer. The result is a clarity and transparency that needs to be experienced to be believed. Emotions and tonal colors are transparently conveyed, as is the musical intention of the performers.<\/p>\n
