Like with any other precious thing in life your new “Essence” Loudspeakers
require certain care and attention in order to give you many years of trouble
free operation and to improve the sonic quality and visual appeal rather than
to degrade over time
Upon unpacking you should rest the loudspeakers aside and screw in the
provided cones at the bottom plate There is no need to tighten the cones for
the bottom plate at this stage You should tighten them once you have your
loudspeakers placed in the position and levelled Make sure both loudspeakers
are firmly resting on all four cones without tilting to any side
The second step is the placement “Essence” can be placed either directly
against the wall or free standing toed in We encourage you to try placing
your loudspeakers both ways but our general preference is to place them free
standing
Of course one can’t expect your “Essence” Loudspeakers to play before
connecting some cables to it “Essence” will accept loudspeaker cables with
either bare wire or spade connectors Ideally the loudspeaker cable should be
very thin solid core copper of very high purity “Essence” is internally wired
with
Laboratory Storatos cable Our custom made binding posts although
one can hardly associate their looks with traditional looks of a binding post are
made out of pure brass and they can be replaced with plastic screws (M ) for
further improvement in the sound quality If not your brass screws can be
cleaned every few months in order to always sound the best You can use
sodium bicarbonate usually known as baking soda
You may wish you got some fancy gold plated binding posts but we can assure
you that gold should be left where it looks the best – on women
You may find the loudspeaker frequency extension somewhat better if placed
against the wall “Essence” does not show the usual side effects of the boomy
bass when placed this way due to the downward firing port This arrangement
probably will be the choice of preference in the acoustically reverberant rooms
