    • Aim both loudspeakers slightly towards the listening position. • The Reference One is a heavy loudspeaker. Using the spikes will place a lot of pressure on the floor; please make sure the floor is suitably resilient. • Avoid having the speakers to close too the rear (>750mm/30”) and the side walls (>1000mm/39”).

    CONNECTIONS The Reference One allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amping. This means that you will need a connection from you amplifier to each of the terminals on the back of the loudspeaker. We recommend using a bi-wired configuration whenever possible.
