Clean them with a damp soft cloth, but do not get them wet. Do not place wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of the speakers.

Break-In
Although Paradigm Premier Series speakers sound great “out of the
carton,” they will sound even better when broken in. Allow them to
operate for several hours before you listen critically.
High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures
below 10° C (50° F). If your speakers have been transported or stored in
the cold let them warm to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner on your speakers. Clean
them with a damp soft cloth, but do not get them wet. Do not place
wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of the
speakers. If allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may
permanently damage the speaker enclosure.
Optional Spikes and Rubber Feet
Floorstanding speakers ship with rubber feet pre-installed. These can
be easily removed if you intend to use isolation spikes (included with
floorstanding speaker models). We highly recommend installing these
spikes as they will improve the sound of your speakers by isolating them
from the floor. The most convenient time to install these spikes is during
the unpacking process.
Optional Paradigm Speaker Stands
We highly recommend placing Paradigm Premier Series bookshelf
speakers on high-performance Paradigm speaker stands (sold
separately), or bookshelves to raise the high-frequency drivers to
approximately ear level, thereby ensuring the best performance possible.
