Accessories
Floorstanding loud-speaker systems
include
four decoupling spikes
and four butyl cone and could be
screwed, if necessary, into the four
metal inserts situated on the base of
the loudspeaker. These spikes ensure
a better stability for floorstanding
speakers, particularly if the floor is
not perfectly flat and smooth. This
stability improves clarity in bass and
midrange by decoupling the system
from the floor and thus reducing floor-
born resonances.This required stability
allows the energy delivered by the
woofer’s membrane to be integrally
converted into sound. The enclosed
spikes are adjustable in height. After
having adjusted the height of the
spikes, don’t forget to lock them with
the locknut.
When the use of the spikes proves to
be necessary, we advise you to place
a piece of metal (such as a coin)
between the floor and the spike in
order to avoid scratching a tiled floor.
Bookshelf speakers can be placed on
an optional stand specially developed
for them.

About amplifiers
Contrary to what one might think, it
is not a too powerful amplifier that
might damage a loudspeaker, but
rather a lack of power. Actually if the
output level of the amplifier is too high
it will saturate and distort which will
irremediably damage the tweeter.
The power handling and frequency
response of the loudspeakers is good
enough to highlight the qualities or
weak points of the amplifiers they are
combined with. Let your retailer help
you make the right choice, matching
your personal taste and budget. Cable
Don’t underestimate the importance
of the cable: make sure you chose the
appropriate section and length. Let
your retailer advise you.
