Allow them to play for several hours before you begin any critical listening. High-frequency and midrange drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures below 10° C (50° F). Surround material used in the bass/midrange driver units is made of a compound that may stiffen in colder temperatures. If your speakers have been transported or stored in the cold, let them warm to room temperature before use. Cleaning Paradigm® Reference speakers have a durable premium finish. To clean, use a damp soft cloth. Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner. Avoid getting any part of the speaker system wet. Do not place wet objects (drinking glasses, potted plants, etc.) on top of the speakers-if allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may permanently damage the speaker enclosure. Speaker Grilles Paradigm® Reference speakers are meant to be played with their grilles on. These grilles are designed to eliminate edge diffraction-the sound reflections that occur at the outer edges of the front of the enclosure which interfere with the drivers' primary sound output. The grille frames fit flush to each driver and have rounded outer edges to ensure that driver output does not encounter hard reflective edges. Floorstanding Spikes Isolation spikes are an option included with Paradigm® Reference floorstanding 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 spikes is during the unpacking process. Refer to the "Unpacking Instructions (pictorial)."
