If you are using your speakers at loud volume, listen carefully for any sign of harsh, garbled
midrange and diminishing intelligibility. Turn the volume down right away if you detect any
problem—particularly.

Cabinets should be treated as you would furniture with similar finishes. Dust lightly with a soft
cloth, avoiding abrasives. If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with glass
cleaner to remove heavy soil. Avoid touching speaker diaphragms. In p p articular p p ushing i i n

A.
If a speaker begins to sound distorted, or seems to be missing certain frequencies, check
first to see whether playing at somewhat lower volume seems to clear up the problem. It
can be especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have pushed an
amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits.
B.
Determine if the problem is the speakers, the electronics, or the wire connections. If a
problem on one speaker doesn't go away, interchange the speaker wire connections on
your amplifier or receiver, so that the left speaker is connected to the right channel, and
vice versa. If the problem shifts to the other speaker, the problem is not in the speaker.
(Another component—or, very often, a cable or connection problem between compo-
nents—may be at fault.) If the problem stays in the same speaker, swap the speaker cables
next. If the problem remains in the same speaker, irrespective of the channel to which it's
connected and the connecting wire used, the speaker itself probably needs service.
