construction using furniture grade finishing techniques and complex internal damping
produce designs capable of accurately rendering music.
CONNECTIONS
All connections must be complete and secure, since poor contact between speaker
cable and input connector can lead to degradation of sound quality. It is also a good
idea to make a point of regularly cleaning all connections in your system since oxidation
will build up on a regular basis.
For WALTZ Grand we use 4 mm banana connectors which do not oxidize, but
contaminants or surface build-up on your speaker cables and connectors may degrade
sound quality. The speaker comes with a set of two banana plugs in which the wire is
inserted and held in place by screwing down the insert post. WALTZ Grand offers two
possibilities of input sockets, necessitated by the options of parallel and angled wall
mounting. Both input possibilities are connected in parallel, which means, it does not
matter which one you use, just do not use both inputs at one time.
CABLING
We encourage and recommend the use of high quality speaker cables and believe them
to be an important tool for the enthusiast in obtaining maximum enjoyment from their
music reproduction system. High quality cabling is a significant tool in the fine-tuning of
any audio system.
As with any purchase, listen carefully and allow your ears to guide you.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide a useful compendium concerning
cables, or to make specific brand or model recommendations. A number of high quality
magazines do in fact list cable recommendations.
AMPLIFICATION
Our speakers demonstrate outstanding sonic results with a variety of amplifier types.
They feature a combination of high efficiency and gentle impedance curves that allow
them to be used with either solid state or tube electronics.
