The Genesis
5.2 is the latest generation of the revered 5-Series
loudspeakers starting with the Genesis V in 1994. It
comes from immaculate pedigree; the second generation
G500 was reviewed by Stereophile, and received numerous
accolades and recommendations. The third generation G501
was our best seller for the past 3 years, and became
renown for setting standards in bass performance and
musical coherence.
The new G5.2
is a diminutive giant. Other full-range speakers are
behemoths - they are taller, wider, deeper, or just
plain BIG. The G5.2 delivers profoundly powerful bass
and a huge life-like soundstage in a beautiful,
graceful, and physically unobtrusive form. Beautiful
natural wood veneers or high gloss finishes are
available to complement the décor of any home.
It delivers
all music, from the simple to the large and complex, as
it was intended at the performance. This is what we mean
by absolute fidelity™. The G5.2 transports the musical
performer, be it a soloist or a 100-piece orchestra,
into your home for your private enjoyment.
Recent
improvements in computer modeling for crossover networks
allowed Genesis to take this venerable design to the
next logical step. However, no amount of computer
software could have replaced the years of experience and
extensive listening needed to tweak the crossover to its
final conclusion. Along the way, new crossover
components were developed to execute the design.
While the
G5.2 is first and foremost a loudspeaker for music,
doing duty as part of a home theater system would not
embarrass it. It will play to audacious levels, and bass
response is full and extended with the built-in 500W
servo-controlled bass amplifier and three 8" aluminum
cone woofers per channel.
For this,
our LFE Blend™ technology was also incorporated in the
G5.2. A unique input for low-frequency effects (LFE)
allows this signal to be seamlessly blended with the
normal bass signal - allowing the G5.2 to be used in a
multi-channel music or home theater application, as well
as for normal stereo use - at the same time. |
