Recommended Power

We recommend amplifiers and receivers rated from a range of 50-300 watts. For playing at consistently room-filling volume, a minimum of 100 watts is usually a good idea. Be war y of driving low-powered amplifiers to their limits as under-powering can cause permanent speaker damage.

Protecting Your Investment

A.For full, year-after-year enjoyment from your speakers, you should respect their limits. Excessive volume levels can damage even the most “bullet-proof ” speakers, especially over extended time periods.

B.When listening to music or movies at very loud volume, you shouldn’t turn up bass or treble all the way or close thereto. This sends tremendously increased, disproportionate power into the speakers, and may well damage them. Some loudness compensation (“Loudness”) controls, which boost both bass and treble, can also be troublesome at high volume. They are intended only for low-volume listening.

C.Finally, you should be aware that when amplifiers and receivers are pushed to their limits to produce excessive volume levels, they are driven into “clipping” and can do severe damage—especially to tweeters. Often, the damage is done by underpowered amplifiers, which may reach their limits very soon. When such units begin to “clip” the audio waveform, they may generate high-frequency “spikes” of tremendous power. More tweeters have probably been destroyed by this phenomenon than any other. If using your speakers at loud levels, listen carefully for any sign of harsh, garbled midrange and diminishing intelligibility—and turn the volume down right away if you detect it.

NEVER TURN UP THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY TO SEE HOW LOUD YOUR SYSTEM WILL PLAY!
