The ability of the Teresonic speakers to speak across the full frequency spectrum with one voice, and with such speed and lack of coloration, makes them seem all the more electrostatic. In the end, however, Teresonic speakers will play much louder than all except the largest electrostatic speakers and they will best any electrostatics in bass power and dynamic wallop.
It is actually kind of hard to truly convey the full abilities of these speakers. Teresonic speakers so well pass on the sonic thumbprints of the rest of the components in the system that they themselves tend to be pretty chameleon-like in their own sound.
True high end speakers such as Teresonic, need top quality drive units. We use the top of the line DX-series of legendary Lowther drivers, considered the Rolls-Royce of the speaker industry, that are still literally hand-made by Lowther-Voigt Ltd in England.
Be sure to save the cartons and all packing materials. At this time, please fill out the warranty card on the internet (www.teresonic.com/warranty), putting both serial numbers and the date of purchase on the card. The serial numbers are on the rear of the speakers below the input terminals and on your invoice.
For optimal results Teresonic “zero interference” Clarison speaker cables are recommended to connect the loudspeakers with your amplifier. Namely, the same ultra-high quality Clarison cables that are used inside the speaker cabinet to connect speaker terminals in the back to the speaker driver.
Teresonic recommends that the tone controls generally be set to the neutral position, and you achieve your desired sound image through correct positioning of the speakers.
(CD) or an FM broadcast signal (tuner). Your Teresonic speakers went through a 100 hour initial break-in period in the factory Your recommended break-in period is at least 200 hours best accomplished with relatively loud and dynamic source material.
Speaker Placement Although your Teresonic speakers may be placed in a wide variety of positions relative to the walls of the room, including corners of the room, it is still recommended to experiment a bit to achieve optimal results. The recommended position is close to the back wall.
Room acoustics and corner treatment Listening your Teresonic speakers in a properly set-up room can be a startling experience. The listening room is the final link of the playback system, as important – or more important, than other components in the chain:...
Taking Care of Your Speakers Your Teresonic speakers are finished with several layers of a high quality furniture lacquer. Use only high quality furniture polish to properly care for your speakers. Do NOT use cleaners that contain ammonia, strong solvents, or abrasive materials. Use of these materials can degrade, scratch, or even DESTROY the finish.
Chapter Room Acoustics Listening your Teresonic speakers in a properly set-up room can be a startling experience. very room has its own distinctive acoustics, which influence the way we experience the sound from a speaker. In fact, it's a matter of how the room accommodates the sound and then dissipates it. You can influence the acoustics of your listening room in various ways.
“Early reflections” will tend to diminish the sound stage in the direction of the reflections – “early reflections” from the side walls tend to reduce sound stage width, while “early reflections” from the back wall will reduce image depth. Some listeners are finding that a strong sense of depth enhances the feeling of involvement when listening, due to three-dimensional solidity of images.
Again, it’s only necessary to reduce the reflectiveness of one of the surfaces in each pair of surfaces to eliminate flutter echo. Since this is concerning the high frequencies, any soft material is appropriate. Drapery or fabric wall hangings are quite effective on the walls. Bookshelves also work well by breaking up the flat surfaces.
