Genesis Reference Center 

With the availability of excellent, high resolution, multi-channel movies and music on BluRay, it was time that a center speaker that is capable of delivering audiophile levels of resolution be made available. With movies, the dialog channel is responsible for 80% of the energy, and the clarity and emotional delivery of dialog is critically important to the enjoyment of the movie.

The Genesis Reference Center (designated RC1) was developed to be the perfect complement to any of the Genesis high-end loudspeaker systems as a center channel. It is worthy of combining with our flagship Genesis 1 to create the ultimate, absolute fidelity, multi-channel system.

The GRC is available in high gloss black, titanium and arctic silver to match the current Genesis 5.3 and Genesis 2.2 loudspeaker system. Rare and beautiful rosewood veneers match the GRC to the legacy Genesis 1.1, 201 and 501 systems.

The Genesis RC1 is a large, heavy center channel loudspeaker intended to be a standalone option to deliver with absolute fidelity the critically important voice/dialogue channel. It is tuned to have optimal bass response down to 46Hz. Nevertheless, speaker level thru-put allows convenient connection to the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 for full frequency response. The RC1 when partnered with the S4/8 is a center channel system that delivers a full seamless frequency response from 18Hz to 36kHz.

For customers on a budget, the Genesis Standard Center (designated as SC1) is available at a slight performance penalty.

Questions for the seller
1) Do you have the grill? 2) What's the deal with the non-standard terminal labels (from the factor they'd be 'input' and 'thru') and what looks like additional speakers on the back surface? Has this been modified?
Hi 1. I do have the grill and original box. 2. So on the back 2 x mid bas units were added as modification and you can connect them on and off on that second terminal of speakers. If you use the first one you will get factory default connection and option to use only factory tweeter on the back. However if you connect to the other terminal you can have mid range units on the back to add more ambient sound. I have used Vifa drivers from part experts and job is done very nice and clean. I am in audio for about 15 years. It add some more value on ambient sound and imaging but you do not have to use it since you have option to bypass. Sorry I totally need to add this into description. Let me know if you have more questions. i can send you more pictures.
So to make sure I understand the actual current connections... one set of speaker terminals (the one labelled for mid & tweeter) drives all of the original drivers, and the 2nd set of terminals (formerly the 'thru' set) is connected only to the two speakers you added to the back. Is this correct?
That is correct
