G7.1p - Petite
When Genesis makes a petite loudspeaker for small rooms, you can rest assured that it will produce nothing less than absolute fidelity™. To achieve the delicacy, speed, transparency, and dynamic bass response of the larger Genesis 3-way systems in a little 2-way loudspeaker, we developed the world's first solid-titanium cone mid-woofer.
This made the Genesis 7.1p possible - a tiny loudspeaker with a big voice. Despite its svelte proportions, the G7p displays much of the familial sound of its larger bethren - effortlessly dynamic with intense foot-tapping musicality.
Technical Details
Despite being the baby of the family, the G7p is built to the same exacting quality as the larger Genesis speakers. The drivers are mounted on a baffle that is a full 1½ inches thick in a cabinet built to our exact standards. The crossover is built with the same quality components use throughout the Genesis product range. With a rear tweeter driven out of phase from the front tweeter, the G7p is a dipole in the high frequencies, enhancing "air", imaging and soundstage depth.
The G7p produces prodigious bass from a small sealed cabinet. Yet, it is also designed with a view of the entry-level amplifiers that are likely to be used to drive it. Unique among small monitor loudspeakers, the G7p features a passive bass contour control that allows it to deliver more bass when driven by more capable amplifiers.
A speaker level throughput allows convenient connection to any Genesis ServoSub™ for full frequency response. With better amplification, the G7p is able to scale the sonic heights like its more expensive brethren.
Reviews
John Potis, on 6moons.com, reviewed the G7.1p's calling them "a lot of -- good looking -- speaker for the money." He said that the midrange was "as communicative as most I've heard at multiples of its price, rendering voices cleanly and naturally."

The G7.1p was reviewed by Jack Roberts in dagogo.com's "Flight of the Mini-monitors" and acquits itself against tough competition at nearly 3 times the price. The reviewer was "very surprised at the degree of refined detail you can hear from a speaker at this price point," calling it "a rare bargain in the high-end world."
