Martin-Logan speakers require AC power to energize their electrostatic cells.
Using the AC power cords provided, plug them in, making sure that you have
made a firm connection, first to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel of the
speaker and then to the wall outlet. Extension cords may be used, if necessary,
since the power requirement of the Quest is extremely small.

take great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both the left and
