Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers when, in fact, the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt, leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best. Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one. Mythos Tower Home Theater Systems A complete Mythos Home Theater System will normally combine your Mythos front left and right Tower loudspeakers with a Mythos Three or Seven center channel loudspeaker and rear surround speakers (which can also be Mythos or any other Definitive Surround Loudspeaker, our Bipolar In-Walls, ProMonitors, StudioMonitors, etc.) and one or more Definitive subwoofers. These superb systems offer exceptional music and home theater performance with all decoding technologies. Remember, to achieve proper blending and full performance, it is essential to use only Definitive speakers to complete your home theater system. 6
