Installation Unpacking and Inspection Each Classico CL-3 and its accompanying owners' manual are packaged together in a single carton. Carefully inspect them immediately after unpacking. If you note any concerns or shipping damage, please contact your dealer. Do not install or use your CL-3s if they appear to be damaged.
Connecting Your Classico CL-3s Caution: Failure to turn off the receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the power outlet before connecting your speakers may cause damage to your system. You should always turn the receiver or amplifier off before making or changing any connections.
Even though the Classico CL-3 is capable of good bass performance, the quantity and dynamics of many bass special effects in soundtracks can be extremely demanding.

You may want to try experimenting with various crossover frequencies (within the range of 80 Hz to 50 Hz) to get the best sonics and dynamics in your room. We recommend keeping the system crossover below 100 Hz, unless you are using an AGA CLS-10 or CLS-12 subwoofer.
Breaking in Your CL-3s Your new Gallo loudspeakers require a short period of operating time (a “break-in” period) to develop their full sound potential. The break-in period requires approximately 50 hours of operation, although you can expect to hear a marked increase in performance within the first 20 hours.
