Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or con-
cealed damage is most likely to occur in handling and should be reported at
once to your Definitive Technology Dealer or to the delivery company that
delivered your loudspeakers. Save all cartons and packing material when you
have unpacked your loudspeakers. They will do the best job of protecting your
speakers if they need to be shipped or transported. Record the serial numbers
found on the rear panels of your speakers in the appropriate place on your
Warranty Cards and mail your Warranty Cards within 10 days of purchase.
• Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components.
As little as 20 watts (RMS) per channel will deliver adequate listening
levels in most rooms. If you plan to play your system at loud listening
levels, you’ll be better served by more power.
• Damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its
wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can
cleanly produce (usually beyond the “1 to 2 o’clock” position on the
volume control). This can result in distortion, originating in the
amplifier. If you hear distortion, turn it down!
• Break-in is very important with any high-end loudspeaker, including
Definitive Technology speakers. While they sound great right out of
the box, the sound quality of the speaker will change noticeably after the
speaker has been played for a length of time (about 20 hours). There’s no
special procedure, just play ‘em. Loud dynamic music with lots of highs
and lots of bass will work its magic faster.
