POWER REQUIREMENTS
Amplifiers with power outputs
between those specified will
generally be adequate, although
more powerful amplifiers can be
used if care is taken to avoid
overdriving the loudspeakers.
Use the volume control with
discretion, and reduce the level
immediately if the loudspeakers
begin to distort.
Amplifiers capable of less than 25
Watts per channel output are best
avoided because they will restrict
the dynamic range. They may also
cause damage to the
loudspeakers if driven beyond
their capability in an attempt to
obtain high volume levels.
The clipping distortion produced
when an amplifier is driven
beyond its normal output
capability can be very destructive.
A powerful amplifier operating
well inside its capability will
generally be less likely to damage
your loudspeakers than a lower
power amplifier operating beyond
its capacity.
Do not make or break
connections to the amplifier when
it is turned on!
POSITIONING
Space should be left behind the
loudspeakers to allow proper
operation of rear firing reflex ports
and to ensure establishment of
good stereo image depth.
Some experimentation may be
necessary to establish the ideal
