SELECTION OF PROPER WIRE

We recommend the use of high quality speaker cable.The speaker cable you select will ideally be fitted with high quality connectors with either spade lugs or dual banana plugs.

In most installations, ordinary lamp cord (16-18 gauge) has enough resistance to degrade the signal between amplifier and speakers, particularly in lengths over 3 meters (10’). If possible the speaker cables should be the same length for both channels and the shorter they are, the better the sonic performance will be.

Amplifier Requirements

Energy loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high listening levels with moderate power, while at the same time being capable of handling the power output of large amplifiers.

NOTE: The Energy Connoisseur and Pro series speakers are 8 ohms and

will function well with most amplifiers. If using more than one set of speakers, powered by one amplifier, please check with the amplifier manufacturer to

confirm that the amplifier can handle loads of 4 ohms.
