Audissey APS 5+2 owners manual Care of Finish Your ENERGY speakers are attractively finished and should be gently wiped clean, from time to time, with a damp cloth to remove any dust or stains. CAUTION ! Distortion Causes Speaker Damage ! When an amplifier is “overdriven” it produces distorted output power several times greater than its rated power. All amplifiers produce high levels of distortion when they are driven beyond their rated power output and this distortion can damage any speaker.
