Stands
If the model you have chosen is of the bookshelf/standmount type
(GR10), you will need to consider the positioning of your loudspeakers.
If you intend to place them on bookshelves, there may be compromises
that prevent the speakers from performing at their optimum.
Placing your loudspeakers on stands (see Fig. 2.) will enable them to
deliver a more dynamic and believable sound. Heavy stands are
recommended as they add further rigidity to the loudspeaker and
elevate system performance. We also recommend the use of a reusable
adhesive substance (such as Blu-tac) between the bottom surface of the
loudspeaker and the top plate of the stand. This will make the speaker
and stand a stable unit and prevent accidents if accidentally knocked.
Sonic improvements are an additional benefit.
Plinths
For all floorstanding models (GR20 and GR60) we recommend fitting the
supplied plinth. This will enlarge the footprint of the loudspeaker and
increase its stability.
See positioning (page 11).
