Accessories

Floorstanding loud-speaker systems include four decoupling spikes and four butyl cone and could be screwed, if necessary, into the four metal inserts situated on the base of the loudspeaker. These spikes ensure a better stability for floorstanding speakers, particularly if the floor is not perfectly flat and smooth. This stability improves clarity in bass and midrange by decoupling the system from the floor and thus reducing floor- born resonances.This required stability allows the energy delivered by the woofer’s membrane to be integrally converted into sound. The enclosed spikes are adjustable in height. After having adjusted the height of the spikes, don’t forget to lock them with the locknut.

When the use of the spikes proves to be necessary, we advise you to place a piece of metal (such as a coin) between the floor and the spike in order to avoid scratching a tiled floor. Bookshelf speakers can be placed on an optional stand specially developed for them.

About amplifiers

Contrary to what one might think, it is not a too powerful amplifier that might damage a loudspeaker, but rather a lack of power. Actually if the output level of the amplifier is too high it will saturate and distort which will irremediably damage the tweeter.

The power handling and frequency response of the loudspeakers is good enough to highlight the qualities or weak points of the amplifiers they are combined with. Let your retailer help you make the right choice, matching your personal taste and budget.

Cable

Don’t underestimate the importance of the cable: make sure you chose the appropriate section and length. Let your retailer advise you.
