This box is little only in size - not in performance! It's a real giant in
concert·hall sound, The high-compliance woofer element gives astounding
bass and the dome tweeter produces crisp clean highs. Careful acoustic
design matches the two dynamic elements with the enclosure and damping
materials -- resulting in amazingly smooth, broad frequency response.
As with most speakers, location and positioning are vital to overall per-
formance. However, with this Speaker, it is even more important.
The ideal location is on a table or shelf positioned near a room corner. For
many modern room settings a decorator shelf attached to a wood wall (or
other acoustically "hard" surface) will greatly reinforce the sound quality.
Do not position the Speaker back from the front edge of a shelf - keep it
out flush with the front edge of the shelf.
It is best if you don't position these Speakers on the floor - floor cover-
ings will "absorb" the sound. Also the high-frequency dispersion will be
adversely affected.
Stereo speaker placement can be a little tricky. The speakers should be
spaced apart by about
listening area. You can direct them straight forward, or aim them inward
slightly, depending on room acoustics and desired stereo effect.
We urge you to experiment with Speaker placement and then play a
favorite, wide frequency response recording through the speakers - you'll
notice a distinct difference with changes in location.
CONNECTIONS. Two terminals are provided on the rear of the speaker
system for connection to your amplifier. Use speaker wire or ordinary
1&gauge SP-T lamp cord ("zip cord") for distances between amplifier and
speaker of 50 feet (15 m) or less. Over 50 feet (15
gauge wire. In multi-speaker monophonic installations and stereo systems,
where phasing is important, use a color coded wire, one with a marker
yarn or some other means of distinguishing one wire of the pair from the
other.

Connect marked speaker terminals to the

in degraded bass response. If you are not sure about phasing, try this:

either increase or decrease the bass response. The correct connection is
