2.5: POWER AMPLIFIERS The power amplifier should be reasonably well matched in power to the power rating of the speakers (see specifications). The use of a powerful amplifier (i.e. in excess of the recommended figure) provides headroom, which is useful especially for highly dynamic programme materials. Due of the high peak power handling of Tannoy monitors, responsible use of even more powerful amplifiers should not represent a danger to the speakers if the amplifiers are not overdriven.
Another interesting note, the Tannoy true point-source Dual Concentric™ monitors are free from the physical offsets previously described, which means that the behavior of the Dual Concentric™ monitors will not change in the horizontal, vertical or any other plane you can pick. The other neat thing about Dual Concentric™ monitors is that no matter how close you get to them you can't get the image to fragment into separate high and low frequency sources.
The STRING analyser 3.6: EQUALisATION Our feeling is that you shouldn't equalise monitors at all to compensate for inadequate room design. Variations in the monitor response should be fixed through placement (after all, that's what this manual's about). But we realise that equalisation is sometimes a necessary evil. If you have a choice of equalisers for monitor applications, less is more. The fewer the number of filters, the better the equaliser will sound.

.3: CROSSOVER The crossover is mounted on the rear of the terminal panel. To inspect it, remove the panel by releasing the hexagonal screws. Take care to avoid undue stress on the cables and components. To remove the crossover completely the cables must be disconnected from the drive unit. Please proceed as above to remove the drive unit. 7.
