[. . . ] For serious listening the grilles are best removed. Rigid support is essential for the speaker to develop its full detail and dynamic performance. It is essential that the plinth supplied is fitted using the four screws provided. [. . . ] The positive (ribbed) cable from the amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminal on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cable should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminal (black) on the loudspeaker. Bi-wiring Bi-wiring separates the bass and treble ground paths in the loudspeaker and offers sound quality advantages. Note that the shorting links are removed between the treble and mid/bass sections and should be stored for later use if conventional, passive driving is required. Two pairs of cables are connected to the amplifier terminals. One cable of each pair should connect to the treble section and one to the mid/bass section. The positive (ribbed) cables from the amplifier positive (or red) terminal should connect with the positive (red) terminals on the loudspeaker. Similarly the negative (smooth) cables in each pair should connect the amplifier negative terminal (black) to the negative terminals (black) on the loudspeaker. Bi-amping Bi-amping adds a second amplifier to the system. One power amplifier drives the treble section of both loudspeakers; a second drives the mid/bass sections. Note that the shorting links must be removed. Failure to do so will result in damaging the amplifiers. As regards the loudspeakers, wiring for bi-amping is achieved in much the same way as bi-wiring. Treble amplifier positive (red) terminals should be connected via the ribbed cable to the positive (red) HF terminal on the speaker. Similarly, treble amplifier negative is connected to the negative (black) HF terminal on the speaker. Repeat this process with the mid/bass amplifier and LF terminal pair. After wiring up Lower the volume to the minimum, switch on the amplifier, select the signal source and then raise the volume to the listening level required.
