Your X-1/GrandSLAMM loudspeakers are hand painted with Wilsongloss paint and hand polished to
a high luster. While the finish seems quite dry to the touch, final curing and complete hardening takes place
over a period of several weeks. To protect the finish of the X-1/GrandSLAMM during final manufacture,
shipment, and setup in your listening room, we have applied a removable layer of protective film over the
finish. We recommend that this film be left in place until the speakers are in their final location in your lis-
tening room. Once you have determined their final position, remove the film by peeling it off. Do not leave
this film on indefinitely, as it may leave impressions on the paint .
It is important that the delicate paint finish of the X-1/GrandSLAMM be dusted carefully with the
dust cloth, which has been provided. We recommend that the following procedure be observed when dusting
the speakers:
§
Blow off all loose dust.
§
Using the special dust cloth as a brush, gently whisk off any remaining loose dust.
§
Shake out the dust cloth.
§
Dust the finish, using linear motions in one direction parallel to the floor. Avoid using circular or
vertical motions.
Because the paint requires a period of several weeks to fully cure, we recommend that no cleaning
fluids such as glass cleaners be used during this initial period of time. When the paint is fully cured, heavy
fingerprints and other minor smudges may be removed with a glass cleaner. Always use the dust cloth.
Stronger solvents are not recommended under any circumstances. Consult your dealer for further informa-
tion if required. Periodic polishing may be desired over the years to maintain the high luster of the finish.
We recommend a non-abrasive carnauba-based wax and soft cloth.
