Genesis run-in everything we build in the factory because they want the customer’s first impression of their new speakers to be a good one. Despite a week of running-in, Genesis loudspeakers will continue to improve for the first 6 months of ownership.
Setting up the Genesis Dragons for running-in is a big undertaking. The speakers weigh over a ton and take up 200 sq.ft. of space. They drive the speakers HARD – often harder than any owner will want to drive them. This helps uncover any weakness in the system and make sure that they are addressed before they ship. After all, if anything is going to be rattled loose, we want to rattle it loose at the factory and not 5,000 miles away.
