Operation
Your
AP4
speakers
are
perfect for digital hybrid amplifiers
(Class-O,
Class-T,
etc.)
as
well
as
most stereo receivers, integrated amps, and
tube
amplifiers.
The
AP4
has
a 4
ohm
impedance rating
but
will generally sound great when
connected
to
receivers or power amps
with
8 ohm speaker outputs.The
AP4
is
designed
to
work
with
a wide range
of
listening levels,
but
every
component
has
its limits and speaker damage most often occurs from
sustained high volume levels in some or all frequencies. Try
to
avoid
excessive
bass
or treble settings or equalizer boosts and
if
you hear unusual
distortion
or
breakup then reduce the volume.
Home
Theater
Setup
Your
AP4's
are also designed
to
sound great in a home theater.
For
multi-channel setup refer
to
your surround sound receiver or processor user
manuals. The internet
is
also
an
excellent source
of
information on home
. theater and surround sound setup.
Break-in
Period
Your speakers will sound great
out
of
the box and will
get
better over time.
No need
to
do
anything
else
but
listen
to
them,
but
give them at least
30
to
50
hours break-in time before doing any critical listening.
