By far the most common cause of loudspeaker failure, and one that
is understandably not covered by guarantee, is damage to the voice
coils caused by amplifier overload. This is generally due to the
common belief that if a speaker is rated at more than the
amplifier's output rating, there is no chance of blowing that
speaker.............
This is not the case!
A relatively small amplifier (i.e. 20 watts) can damage speakers like
these by "clipping" the signal, a symptom identified by lack of detail in
music and distortion. If this occurs TURN IT DOWN! If you don't want
to blow up your speakers but want louder sound, please purchase a
more powerful amplifier.

Cabinet Care
Cabinets should be dusted and lightly polished as required. Do
not use solvent based cleaners, as they may damage the cabinet
surface. Do not expose the cabinets to strong, direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity or allow them to become wet.
