Cabinet or Bookshelf Placement: If you wish, you can place the Classico CL-2 on a

bookshelf or within a cabinet. Please make sure the shelf will support the speaker's weight

and is well secured to the wall brackets or cabinet so it won't rattle or vibrate. We suggest

the CL-2 be placed with its front edge even with the front edge of the shelf or cabinet to

reduce reflections. Also, be sure to set the speaker on the four (4) vibration de-coupling

gel discs provided. If it sounds like you're getting an echo or hollow sound, try moving the

speaker forward or backwards within the cabinet. You can also fill in the space around the

speaker with books or other solid objects.

Home theater positioning can mimic the above recommendations. However, try to keep

the L/R speakers within two or three feet of the edge of the TV screen. Once again,

whichever position gets the speaker closer to seated ear height is preferable, and if it must

be high or low, aim it down or up at the listeners. If you must place the CL-2 above ear

level, it is OK to place it upside down with the tweeter at the bottom to get it closer to

ear level.

General Guidelines for Placing Your Classico CL-2s

Note: The following positioning instructions are meant to be only a guideline for

your CL-2 placement. Once your Classico CL-2s are properly broken in, they should

perform to your satisfaction. If not, however, please refer to these simple placement

guidelines for some helpful tips. No matter which placement option you choose,

please keep the Classico CL-2 at least one inch from the wall or surface behind it.

Floor Stands: Your Classico CL-2s can be mounted on floor stands or to a wall using wall

mounts. There are many suppliers of quality speaker stands and wall mounts, so a little

research with your local AGA dealer will prove helpful. When placed on stands, be sure to

use the four (4) gel discs provided, one under each corner of the CL-2. Also, ensure that

the speakers, stands and associated wiring are stable and safely located to reduce the

chance of the speakers falling.

Some wall mounts will require you to affix part of the mount to the back of the speaker.

For safety reasons, please be sure to read and follow the instructions that came with your

mounts carefully.

Sonics: If achieving maximum bass and sonic warmth is your goal, place your Classico

CL-2s close to a wall or other large surface (no more than a foot or two away). Note that

positioning them further out from the walls may deliver better imaging and a somewhat

leaner response in most rooms. Positioning your speakers at different distances from the

side wall in relation to the wall behind them should help control acoustic anomalies.

Although they can be mounted at any reasonable height, you'll maximize high-frequency

transparency and imaging if the CL-2 is positioned with its tweeter close to or aimed at

seated ear height. If the setting lends itself, try positioning the left and right front speakers

at the opposite ends of the base of an equilateral triangle whose tip is at the prime

listening position (Figure 2). General guidelines suggest a 30- to 45-degree angle from the

prime listening position to the L/R speakers, which is particularly for good stereo

reproduction.
