9. Amplifiers 12. Warranty
It is wise before listening to your speakers to make
one final check of the cables and connections. If all
appears well begin listening at a relatively low level
to confirm that the system is operating as expected.
Only increase the volume if you are happy that the
sound at low levels is fundamentally as expected. If you
are unhappy, turn the system off and re-check all the
cables and connections.
Aegis Neos may take a little time to “run-in”, and
similarly the system will also perhaps take some
time to reach normal operating temperatures. It is
unwise therefore to make rapid judgements about the
performance of the speakers. Your ears too will take
some time to adjust to the new sound, so revisiting the
system set-up, speaker positioning especially, is best
left for a few days.
11. Specifications
The Aegis Neos are relatively high sensitivity speakers that do not require
generously rated power amplifiers for adequate volume levels to be achieved in an
average listening room. A minimum of 25 and maximum of 120 Watts into 8 Ohms
per channel is recommended. Aegis Neos also offer a relatively easy load to the
amplifier and do not make unusually heavy demands on its power delivery.
No overload protection systems are fitted to the Aegis Neos so it is possible to
cause damage through over-driving. Such damage can occur whatever the power
rating of the amplifier and is not covered by any warranty. If ever the sound at
high volumes becomes distorted your speakers are at risk of damage. In such
circumstances the volume must be reduced.
