INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of ENERGY®
speakers! Proprietary technology and high
quality manufacturing will allow you to enjoy
the most natural and accurate music
reproduction for many years. The advice
offered in this manual is aimed at helping you
maximize and maintain peak performance, and
therefore, your listening satisfaction. Please
take the time to read all of the instructions
contained in this manual to make certain your
system is properly installed and functioning
correctly.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
ENERGY® speakers are the result of extensive
research into accurate sonic reproduction and
represent the leading edge in speaker design
and performance. The finest components and
cabinet materials combined with sophisticated
manufacturing and quality control procedures
ensure many years of exceptional performance
and listening pleasure.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
We strongly advise that you resist the
temptation to play the ENERGY® speakers to
their full capabilities or experiment with critical
placement and listening until they have been
properly broken in. This process should last
approximately 50 hours. This can be easily be
done by putting your compact disc player on
Repeat mode, while playing a CD with a wide
dynamic range at normal listening levels.
CABINET CARE
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into
the construction and finish of the cabinet.
Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust
or fingerprints. Do not use paper towels or
other abrasive materials as it may damage the
finish.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
FRONT SPEAKER PLACEMENT
(DIAGRAM 1)
For best stereo imaging, the left and right
speakers should be the same distance from
their respective side walls. If the distance from
one speaker to the listener is very different
from the other it can affect the soundstage or
stereo imaging. Therefore, the ideal position is
having the speakers equidistant to the listener.
A general guideline for speaker placement is to
set up the space between speaker and listener
at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance
between the speakers. For example, if the
speakers are placed a minimum of 6-feet
(1.8m) apart (the absolute minimum), the best
seating position would be 9-feet (204m) away.
SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT
(DIAGRAM 1)
The surround speakers can be positioned in a
variety of locations. The surround placement is
usually dictated by the room, where the walls
and room boundaries happen to be, and
where speaker cable can be easily run. The
most common surround speaker locations are
