The amount of amplifier or
receiver power needed to drive the
Model Six
loudspeakers satisfacto-
rily varies significantly with such
factors as the size of the listening
room, its acoustics and furnish-
ings, the type of music you like to
listen to, and most importantly,
how loud you like to play it. Power
requirements can range from 20 to
150 watts per channel.
The
Model Six
loudspeakers can
be used safely to play music with
the most powerful amplifiers and
receivers designed for home
listening. However, take reason-
able care to prevent strong non-
musical transients. Keep the
volume turned down when
connecting or disconnecting
components, raising or lowering
your turntable’s tonearm, and so
on. This will help protect your ears
as well as the speakers.
If at a given volume level the
sound is consistently “grainy” or
“gritty,” you may be overdriving
your amplifier or receiver. Back off
on the volume control until the
symptoms disappear. If that is not
loud enough for you, you may
need a more powerful amplifier or
receiver for satisfactory results.
Call your store or a Cambridge
SoundWorks Audio/Video Consult-
ant, who will advise you on how
much power would be appropriate
for your particular circumstances.
If more than dusting is needed, the
finish on your
Model Six
loudspeak-
ers can be cleaned with a window or
vinyl cleaning product. Avoid spray-
ing the cleaner directly on the
speaker grilles to prevent damage
to them or the speaker.
