SPEAKER PLACEMENT The MCS1 is specifically designed to give a high level of performance from a variety of room locations and positions. They can be placed on bookshelves or on stands, and oriented horizontally or vertically while still providing a degree of realism not usually obtainable under unusual or difficult placement conditions.
2) A speaker with a low efficiency of 84dB/W-m will require twice the power of an average 87dB/W-m speaker and one with a high rating of 90dB/W-m will require only half the power of an average speaker. The MCS1 is well above average efficiency (90dB) and therefore can achieve high output levels with a normal amount of power.
GRILLE The MCS1 grille frame is designed to not produce diffraction so there is no sonic reason to remove it. If you do need to remove the grille, pull the grille frame away from the speaker while gripping both sides (long) of the grille frame.
THIEL warrants every THIEL model MCS1 speaker against defects in materials and workmanship to the original owner for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. THIEL will, at no charge, replace any defective part and make any repairs necessary to ensure its proper performance when the defective unit is returned to us postpaid.
