tial amount of bass, bass traps, especially at the corners, can often
make quite a difference. Hanging heavy fabrics at the corners can be a
simple yet elegant solution.
Bulky objects, such as a tall equipment rack or a rear-projection TV set,
placed directly between two speakers have negative effect on the sound
stage. They should either be moved as far back as possible or at least
be covered with a sound absorbing material, such as a heavy curtain.
Speaker Installation
It is important to ensure that the speakers stand firmly on the floor
using the height adjustable spike feet supplied whenever possible. The
spike feet are designed to press the carpet to the floor surface. For hard
surface floor, place a puck supplied underneath each spike foot.
Tapes covering the tweeters need to be removed before powering up
the speakers. First you need to gently pull off the grilles, then you will
see the tapes.
The F250s can be connected in either single-wiring or bi-wiring configu-
ration. Fig. 2 illustrates cable connections for the speakers. In the
bi-wiring configuration shown in Fig. 2A, jumpers are removed. For each
speaker, a pair of speaker cables is used to connect the upper and lower
bonding posts on the back of the speakers separately to the amplifer. In
the single-wiring configuration, a jumper is used to connect the upper
and lower bonding post on the back of the speaker. Then for each
speaker, only one speaker cable is used to connect either the upper
(preferred) or lower bonding posts to the amplifier. Generally, bi-wiring
is preferred, especially when the amplifier has ample power.
Keeping cable as short as possible may be more beneficial than an
expensive but long cable, as inductance, which affects high frequency
response, is proportional to the cable length. See inductance equation
