Page 8: Speaker Placement - Maximizing Your Enjoyment
Speaker Placement — Maximizing Your Enjoyment Proper loudspeaker placement is an essential ingredient to getting the best sound from your high performance stereo, multi-channel audio or home theater system. The goal is to reproduce faithfully the audio soundtrack the movie director or music producer created without calling any attention to the speakers themselves. - Page 9 enclosures are positioned vertically rather than horizontally. If you are placing your monitors horizontally, the speakers will still perform very well, but the seating area where you will enjoy optimum sound will become narrower. We suggest you position the tweeters to the outside away from the center line. You may prefer to tilt the speakers towards ear level.

Page 21: Recommended Power
Recommended Power We recommend amplifiers and receivers rated from a range of 50-300 watts. For playing at consistently room-filling volume, a minimum of 100 watts is usually a good idea. Be wary of driving low-powered amplifiers to their limits as under-powering can cause permanent speaker damage. Protecting Your Investment A. - Page 22 In Case of Problems A. Lower volume if a speaker begins to sound distorted or seems to be missing certain frequencies, to check first to see whether playing at somewhat lower volume seems to clear up the problem. As we noted under “Recommended Power,” it can be especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have pushed a low-powered amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits.
