• If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging

heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor

to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely.

• These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give

their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface

off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will

result in boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the tweeters should

be at about ear level when seated in your listening position.

We recommend using the CP-81B-K/MK speaker stand for

optimal sound and stability.
