DO NOT REMOVE THE SPECIAL ACOUSTIC FOAM ATTACHED TO THE FRONT
BAFFLE AND/OR GRILLE OF YOUR SPEAKERS.
This foam is a critical part of your loudspeaker system and plays an important role
in its high level of performance. It focuses the radiation of the tweeters, minimizes
cabinet diffraction, and provides the flattest possible frequency response.

MAIN SATELLITE SPEAKER SPECIAL NOTE: For the S-250, locate the speakers away from reflecting surfaces near to the sides of the speaker cabinet.

MAIN SATELLITE SPEAKER 10. SPEAKER DAMAGE & HOW TO AVOID IT An important factor to consider with any loudspeaker system is the potential for speaker damage. Even though your speakers have extremely high power handling ability, they still can be damaged by relatively low powered amplifiers.

Instead, they are returned because they have been overdriven, almost alwa
