CONTENTS:
This package should contain 2 sets (4 each) of feet. The rubber feet are used
for solid floorings such as wood, tile, and concrete, and the chrome-plated
spikes are used for carpets. Spikes may be used on solid flooring when placed
on chrome-plated isolation discs.
UNPACKING
Place the package on the floor with the box flaps up. Cut the tape with a
utility knife to open the package. Fold the carton flaps back and carefully
slide the speaker and packaging from the box, or turn the box over with flaps
open and remove the box. Stand the speaker and pack upright, make sure the
loudspeaker plinth is on the bottom, and remove the packing material.
SPIKE AND RUBBER FEET
List of items included in the package:
Spiked and rubber feet are to be used for bass decoupling (reducing bass
transmission) and should only be used when the plinth is on the bottom of the
speaker. To install metal spiked feet, you may place the speaker on the floor
on either side. DO NOT place the speaker front on the floor, as this may
physically damage the tweeter guard and/or dome. First thread ridged discs
onto the metal spikes until flush. Follow by threading both into the insert at
the bottom corners of the plinth. To level the speaker, height may be adjusted
by turning the spike section ONLY. 
To avoid damage to floors other than carpet, the metal spike can be used with
the protective ring as shown above on the far right. Threaded rubber feet can
be used on virtually all surfaces. Installation is shown below.
NOTE: When moving loudspeakers take extra caution to place hands in a
position that will not damage the drivers. This can best be done by placing
one hand in the port at the back of the loudspeaker, and the otherhand at
either top corner. 
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM TWEETER TO AVOID DAMAGE
CONNECTING YOUR FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKERS
All three floorstanding loudspeakers have the same quality nickel-plated
binding posts that will accommodate stripped wire, spade connectors, or banana
plugs. Be sure to use uality speaker cables, up to 12 gauge (AWG). The lowest
gauge possible is recommended. Before using banana plugs, be sure to remove
the black and red inserts on the binding posts. The straps connecting the
binding posts should remain in place for conventional wiring but may be
removed where bi-wiring is preferred. See the following diagrams in the
AMPLIFICATION section for further instruction.
AMPLIFICATION
Conventional amplification involves a single stereo amplifier wired to a
single set of binding posts with straps connecting the second set of posts as
seen in the diagram above. Simply attach the positive wire + to the red post
and the negative wire – to the black post.
BI-AMPLIFICATION
This connection method (see diagram above) uses two separate two-channel
amplifiers to power one set of speakers. One stereo amplifier connects to one
speaker, and the other identical amplifier owers the second speaker. This is
referred to as bi-amplification.
Be sure to remove the terminal straps before using the bi-amplification
method. Connect positive + and negative – cables from the amplifier to the top
terminals, and make sure the connection is tight. Connect the second set of
cables (positive and negative) to the bottom terminals and tighten. Repeat
these same steps using the second amplifier to connect to the second terminal.
ROOM POSITION
Placement of your floor standing loudspeakers is a personal preference, but it
is recommended that speakers be placed at least 6 feet apart whether they are
being used for a stereo application, or as the main left and right channels
for a home theater. For best imaging and separation, the listening distance
from the speakers should be about 1.5 times the distance the speakers are
apart from each other.
Example: If the distance between each speaker and the listening position is 9
feet, then the speakers should be 6 feet apart from one another. Be sure that
loudspeakers are laced at least 12 inches away from any wall. Further
adjustments can be made to optimize your listening experience.
PORT TUNING
If placing your floor-standing loudspeakers 6 inches or closer to a wall, the
bass output can be controlled by reducing the amount of air flow from rear
ports. You can “tune” bass output by using the tuning stops provided with your
loudspeaker by inserting as shown. NOTE: Port tuning stops included in Kendall
model ONLY.
