GRILLE
The CS2.7 grille is attached magnetically to the front of the speaker. The grille is designed to not pro-
duce diffraction so there is no sonic reason to remove it.  If you do need to remove the grille,  carefully 

pull the grille frame away from the front of the speaker. When replacing the grille, line up the grille with 

the baffle’s inlay edges.  

OPTIONAL OUTRIGGER BASE
The CS2.7s can be used with an optional Outrigger base 
(shown right). The Outriggers attach to the bottom of the 
speaker cabinet with four mounting bolts (provided with 
the Outrigger) screwed into the four threaded openings 
normally used for the speaker’s stabilizer feet. Complete 
installation instructions are included with the Outrig-
gers.

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, dry-

ness, 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.

If for some reason you need to service the driver or crossover elements in your CS2.7, be aware that the 
drivers are mounted using 9/64” hex head screws, and all drivers are soldered into place. The coaxial/
coincident driver and passive bass radiator are removed from the front of the speaker. The woofer is rear-
mounted and can be removed through the passive radiator opening.
