Amplification
The EgglestonWorks Savoy Signature
is a relatively easy speaker to drive. With an
efficiency of 88 dB, the load presented to an amplifier is quite stable. Nominal impedance is 8
Ohms, but rarely drops below 5 ohms. Normally a speaker with this impedance curve, we
recommend amplification minimum of 100 watts per channel. Because not all amplifiers are
created equal, this minimum can change depending on a certain amplifier and the quality of the
current it is capable of delivering. Because the Savoy is a multi driver speaker, moving a lot of
air, we amend this suggestion to be a minimum of 250 - 300 watts. We recommend careful
audition at your dealer to determine if a particular amplifier will make a good match with the
speaker. Use low-powered, single-ended triode amplifiers only after consulting with your dealer
or after audition.
Speaker Supports
Your EgglestonWorks loudspeakers
were supplied with custom roll and set
caster/coupling devices that are quite unique. These devices allow for both ease of movement
and traditional “spiking” of the speakers. However, because of the speakers’ weight a typical
pointed spike is unnecessary and could potentially cause damage to the floor. Once the speakers
rolled into place, you will turn the orange sprocket until the foot is lowered as you continue to
lower the foot, the wheel will begin to raise off the floor. If moving the speakers again is
necessary, you will need to raise the foot so the wheels are in contact with the floor. . When the
feet are lowered and in good contact with the floor they help dissipate cabinet energy, resulting
in tighter bass, better focused imaging, and more accurate soundstaging.
Care and Maintenance
The glossy surfaces
of your speakers can be cleaned using a soft, 100% cotton cloth.
Never use paper towels, abrasive pads or abrasive cleaners. A non-ammoniated spray glass
cleaner may be used. Several companies make polish especially for plastic (you will have to
look for particular brands in your area).
Wax can also be used on the speakers to bring back their shine and fill in small scratches.
This can be found at most automotive parts and accessory stores. We recommend either dark
blue or black.
The aluminum parts of the speaker should be only wiped with a clean cloth. It can be
slightly damp if needed, but not overly wet.
