• 

The first section of this manual provides useful and important information about 
your speakers and how their performance relates to the amplifier used and the 
chosen room placement. 

• 

The second section explains how to best connect (wire) your new speakers to your 
system and provides some troubleshooting hints. 

• 

The last page explains our Warranty. 

 

 

POWER RATINGS  

Your new speakers come with specifications which detail their normal operative power 
range.  As an example, an operative power range of 10-60 Watts approximates the 
amplifier power output region within which the speaker will perform optimally.  This 
does not mean, however, that the speakers cannot be played safely by an amplifier or 
receiver whose power output capability is greater than 60 Watts.  As long as the system 
is used properly much greater power sources can be considered.  Speakers can tolerate 
brief high power surges called peaks. 
 
NOTE

:

  The above example does not suggest that the SPEAKER ITSELF will produce 60 

Watts of power.  Speakers don't produce power in the same sense that amplifiers do.  A 
speaker's power rating only refers to the amount of amplifier power that can be safely 
accommodated.
