Servo controlled speakers and subwoofers

What does a servo control do for a speaker and subwoofer?

Given the same sized woofer, is a servo controlled subwoofer inherently better than one that's not servo controlled?

The Genesis 4 chassis speaker systems uses a servo control. Why a servo instead of letting the woofer columns be powered by a regular power amp?

...thanks for your explanations Eldartford and Beemer.

Why are the amplifiers that come with the 4 chassis systems so small in comparison to other amps that have to drive big speakers? The Genesis 201 bass columns have eight 8" woofers per column and both are run by one amp that doesn't seem all that big. Does the accelerometer lessen the power requirements of an amplifier?

Nsgarch, what are those colums with 5 woofers per side in your system? Do you use a servo to drive those giants?
