This can happen even with a low-poweredamplifier or receiver. Your 201 speaker system is designed for use with amplifiers or receivers rated from 0 to 120 watts per channel. For further information, refer to your amplifier or receiver owner's guide. Cleaning your speakers The 201 speaker enclosures can be wiped clean using a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent.
