A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by
placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to
back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall.
Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the
soundspace will increase and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.

Tuning into the room

There are no absolute rules concerning the speaker/room
coupling, so do not be afraid to experiment with speaker
placement for best results. You should also experiment with
asymmetric positioning in the room. Do not have your speakers
the same distance from the side walls – try putting them closer to
the left or the right wall. If the speakers are equidistance from side
and front wall, you may find a suck-out at 100Hz to 300Hz.

In some problematic rooms a resonance may develop at one or
two frequencies that is unnatural to the music. By moving the
speakers closer to the front/side wall or farther

from the front/side

wall, the resonance may be reduced at the listener’s position.

Ultimately, it is all about balance. You have a number of controls
at hand with which to adjust the bass response, the low-pass filter
frequency and woofer volume. You can also move the speakers
closer together (for better speaker to speaker coupling), or further
apart.

Home Theater and Multi-Channel Music

While the Genesis 5.2 was designed with the audiophile in mind, its
performance and features make it ideal for Home Theater as well.
The G5.2 is truly a full frequency loudspeaker that satisfies the
requirement for Dolby Digital

 and DTS cinema reproduction.

However the combination of the low frequency capability and a
unique set of controls and connections on the G5.2 provide Home
Theater users benefits beyond other loudspeakers on the market.

In essence, the G5.2 has a servo-controlled subwoofer already
included in each speaker. This capability allows the G5.2 to provide
the ability to reproduce the low frequency effects (LFE) signal
available on all modern movie decoders. An additional benefit of
using this feature is that the LFE will come from two, or more,
locations in your room versus using a single subwoofer for LFE.
Utilizing this capability dramatically reduces room bass mode and
