It is therefore recommended that when setting up your system you set up your speakers on speaker stands, such as the Rockville model RVSS-2 (not included) so that the tweeter sounds will radiate above the listening crowd. This will guarantee optimum sound disper- sion and achieve clear vocal sound reproduction.
