The reflected sound from the wall degrades the sound coming directly from the satellite (diagram A). Try to position wall-mounted satellites so both are approximately at your ear level while sitting or slightly higher. Make sure the speakers form at least a 20degree angle with your listening position. [. . . ] 5. Fuse Replacement The fuse holder is located in the power connector at the base of each speaker. Unplug the AC cord from the AC power source, then remove the AC power cord from the speaker's power connector. Remove the fuse cap with a small, flat blade screwdriver (see diagram 2).
