In addition to the special care given to the complete speaker design, we also believed that it was necessary to design a stand that is not only beautiful, but more importantly offers the requisite stability necessary to take full advantage of the speaker´s capabilities. The most obvious design element of this new dedicated speaker platform is its side pillar. As is immediately obvious, this pillar runs the entire depth of the loudspeaker offering the greatest front to rear stability possible. In addition to the mechanical form of the stand, the materials were specially selected to offer a silent environment for the speaker to operate in. The final construction of the stand is a combination of high density fiber with steel reinforcements working much like the finest architectural structures.
Caution: Because the dedicated stands have been designed as mirror images of one another, it is possible to install the speakers with the pillars towards either the inside or the outside of the soundstage with no compromise in performance. How they are installed is of personal preference. For absolute stability, installation of the spikes with or without the floor protectors is recommended.
1.5 Construction Details - Poetry
The bass cabinet of Poetry is a pair of two individual bass reflex cabinets on either side of the Music Center. This design allows us to take advantage of our proprietary X3P
As with the other speakers in the Klimt Series™, with a speaker of such size and capability, it was necessary to develop a special stand that offers significant stability specifically designed for center channel applications. In the event a custom installation is necessary, included with the Poetry is a table top base that allows for installing on any strong, flat surface.
Caution: If using the dedicated floor stand, do not use the supplied table top base.

2.1 Amplification
The most common question asked of a speaker manufacturer is whether valve amplification or solid state amplification is preferred. The simple answer to this question is that we require good electronics. There are many fine examples of both amplifier technologies that will work perfectly with this loudspeaker system. We as designers and manufacturers have done all we can to insure the greatest flexibility in amplifier selection.
There are a couple primary considerations that should be kept in mind when selecting a proper paired amplifier for this loudspeaker system. First, what are your listening habits? Do you listen to extremely dynamic material at high
