How do I clean my speakers?
Just use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to remove the
dust from your speakers. We recommend a specialty
cloth (available at the Xtatic shop at www.martinlogan.
com) that cleans your speakers better than anything
else we have tried. Do not spray any kind of clean-
ing agent on or in close proximity to the ATF
element.

What size amplifier should I use?
We recommend an amplifier with 100 watts per chan-
nel for most applications. Probably less would be
adequate when used in home theater where a sub-
woofer is employed. Our hybrid designs will perform
well with either a tube or transistorized amplifier, and
will reveal the sonic character of either type. However,
it is important that the amplifier be stable operating into
varying impedance loads: a stable amplifier will be
able to deliver twice its rated wattage into 4 Ohms and
should again double into 2 Ohms.

Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and
cables that would be ideal for MartinLogan speak-
ers?

The area of electronics and cable choice is probably
the most common type of question that we receive. It is
also the most subjective. We have repeatedly found that
brands that work well in one setup will drive someone
else nuts in another. We use many brands with great
success. Again, we have no favorites; we use elec-
tronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would
suggest listening to a number of brands—and above
all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best
source for information when purchasing additional audio
equipment.

Will exposure to sunlight affect the life or perfor-

mance of my speakers?
We recommend that you not place any loudspeaker
in direct sunlight. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun
can cause deterioration of grill cloth, speaker cones, etc.
Small exposures to UV will not cause a problem. In
general, the filtering of UV rays through glass will greatly
reduce the negative effects.
