Viewed from the front, the midrange tweeter section displays 12 tweeters and one midrange. Viewed from the rear, there are three tweeters visible. While the woofer tower viewed from the front, there are four eight inch metal cone woofers visible. The same driver compliment appears on the back for a total of eight woofers per woofer tower.

     The frequency response of the speaker is 16Hz to 36 kHz (+/- 2 dB) and the sensitivity is 91 dB, one watt, one meter.

     The tweeter, described by many reviewers in both the American and foreign Audiophile press as possibly "the world's best," is a 1 inch planar ribbon design. It is hand-crafted from an extremely thin laminated membrane of aluminum (the conductor and voice coil) and Kapton (the heat resistant carrier) and measures a mere 0.0005 inch thick. The advantage of incorporating such an extremely thin membrane is that of low mass. So low is the mass of the tweeter's diaphragm that the air in front of the tweeter has greater mass than does the diaphragm up to 30 kHz. The unparalleled low mass of the tweeter's diaphragm means that this driver has virtually no breakup modes beyond the human hearing range. Behind this thin ribbon is a precision machined and focused magnetic structure that permits the Genesis tweeter to perform in a very efficient manner (approximately 90 dB/watt meter). The result of this design is a driver that has a rapid and uniform response to high frequency transients. Further, this design enables it to move in a "push pull" manner for low distortion and with little concern for inertia. This solution has the speed of the best ribbon/electrostatic designs without the high distortion and poor dispersion that is typically associated with them.

     The midrange driver on the Genesis 201 is a four foot tall single piece planar ribbon driver. Constructed of a very thin layer of aluminum laminated to a 0.001 inch thick Kapton substrate and then surrounded by over 24 feet of barium ferrite magnets. The Genesis midrange ribbon driver has very low distortion due to its push pull design.

     The woofers, the servo amplifier and its associated connecting cables form the basis of the Genesis 201 servo woofer system.
The Genesis 201 employs an active feedback system for the woofers that is based on an accelerometer mounted to the voice coil of the woofer. This active system lowers the woofer's distortion by a factor of ten when compared to a typical vented or sealed woofer system. In addition to increased linear response, transient speed and frequency extension are much improved over any conventional approach and in fact are anechoically flat to below 20Hz.

     The servo controlled 8 inch woofers are a uniquely constructed metal cone driver. Machined out of solid aluminum, the driver's suspension (consisting of the spider and surround) and motor circuit (consisting of the magnetic structure and coil assembly) have been maximized for long distortion free excursions to insure almost unlimited dynamic range.

     In the Genesis 201, four 400 watt discrete high damping factor amplifiers have been designed within a holistic system of integrated connecting cables, custom tailored EQ networks and remote controlled crossover circuitry that completes the world's first and only totally self contained full range loudspeaker system ready to hook up to a single power amplifier of your choice. The crossover points of the woofers are user adjustable with nominal settings recommended at 16 Hz for the high pass function and 85 Hz for the low pass. Phase is also adjustable in five degree increments.

     One side benefit of the included woofer system, worthy of note, is the fact that almost any sized power amplifier may be used to drive the upper section of the Genesis 201. No longer must one choose between having enough amplifier power to adequately drive the woofers and yet maintain the spatial qualities found in many small power amps.

     Finally, the latest version of the G201 is made of an acrylic/composite material. This makes the cabinet extremely rigid and inert - resulting in improved dynamics, better soundstage focus, and more accurate tonality. While the standard finish is in a high-gloss acrylic black, any other color can be specified as a custom finish
