Genesis 350 Experience


I won an auction for the Genesis 350, I yet to receive them but I expect a lot of improvment over my Martin Logan ReQuest. Any one who has experince with them can share his with us?

I am an owner of the Genesis 200's, which are similar to yours except mine have the seperate subwoofer towers.
A couple of things that seem to work for me during the set-up. Pull the speakers at least 3ft. from the back wall. Leave the back wall untreated, no acoustical treatment - remember that these speakers are voicing in both directions and need the back wall to reflect that sound. Do not toe-in the speakers, leave them parallel to the back wall. I also got good results putting BDR cones under the speakers.
As far as the subwoofer/cross-over settings, you will just have to experiment(use the manual as a start with their suggested initial settings).
I love my Genesis 200's. By far the finest speakers I have ever owned!
Gfroman, thank you very mcuh for your comments. I just finished listening to my new 350 (first 3 hours. i used the initial set up and that was it. I couldn't move from my chair to do anything else. I had a big smile on face that is all. 3 hours one shot. WOW
Hello Myoussif. we had earlier e-mail contact but I did not know you had a genesis 350
I am owning a pair of Genesis 350 SE and they are realy fantastic.but dufficult to set up.Before the Genesis 350 I listened for years to electrostatic speakers. The last were Martin Logan Monolith 3.Then I was owning a pair of Genesis 350 and The manuel of the Genesis 350 is very good and when you follow the instructions it will bring you lots of pleasure. There was never a Manuel of the Genesis 350 SE on the Genesis site and also no foto of these speaker so I think you can easily use the manuel of the Genesis 350. I am so happy with this speaker. When you are a dipole fan this is the best speaker you can have.Now I have problems with my Genesis-amp. There is a 1 Khz beep on one channel and it starts when I knock on the amp. It is only one and the same channel.Also when I switch on the amp the beep starts sometimes.I and my dealer asked Genesis for technical help but untill now no answer!!!

Phill, it seams that we have similar taste. I love my speakers and I find them very easy to set up. I don't know if there is much difference between the 350 and the 350SE, I would hope there is a lot since the price difference was a lot. As for your amp, I used to have the contact of the guys who make the amp may be they can help you. I have to look for it on my computer at work. send a seperate email and I should be able to get the info.
Myoussif, great speakers -- good for you! There are some(sort of) user-friendly upgrades available for the ribbon part. If I'm not mistaken, you can find info at the ribbon loudspeakers forum of www.audiocircuit.com & also at www.aca.gr (an audioclub). Apparently, a new Co has been set up to con'nue Genesis (www.genesis80.com? s/thing like that).
BTW, I'm looking for schematics for my servo (I have the smaller Gen V's) but can't find them anywhere... if anyone has info, much obliged! Cheers
