6000 cu ft (20 ft x 30 ft with a 10 ft ceiling) will usually require twice the average power. If the listening room is connected to another room by a large open area, the required power will
With all this in mind, a person who likes to play music only at lower levels, has a small room, and who has
fairly efficient speakers can get the performance desired with only 20 watts; whereas, a person who sometimes likes to play loudly, has low efficiency speakers, and a large room may need 300 watts.
It is important to have enough power to play at the volume level you desire without distortion. If you play the speakers more loudly than the volume the amplifier can cleanly produce, the amplifier will produce overload (clipping) distortion. The sound will become compressed, strained, and in extreme cases, obviously distorted. This distortion is actually
Remember that how loud your system plays has nothing to do with the position of your volume knob. Source components such as CD players and tape decks, as well as recordings themselves, can all have different output levels. This means that to achieve the same volume level for each source, your preamp’s volume control may need to be set at a different position for each source. For example, when some high output CD players are used with lower power amplifiers, clipping can be reached with a volume knob setting as low as 4 on a scale of 10.
CARE
The cabinets possess a high quality lacquer finish that is both beautiful and durable. However, any wood finish can be damaged by excessive moisture, dryness, or direct sunlight.
When cleaning your speakers, avoid using oils, waxes, or polishes that contain silicone. We recommend Endust. Dusty grilles can be cleaned by using the upholstery attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
