L1 Compact

Model I / Classic

The components (Power Stand, Cylindrical Radiator®s) of these two L1® Models are NOT compatible or interchangeable.

IF

• the components of your Classic / Model I / Model II don't fit together smoothly or
• the components don't come apart easily

THEN

check that you have have matched components for each model.

The components of the Classic are not compatible with the Model I or Model II.

L1 Model I

The L1 Model I has orange L1® Markings on the Power Stand and the L1 Cylindrical Radiator^® loudspeaker sections. The other Models do not have these.

Power Stand

L1 Cylindrical Radiator^® loudspeaker sections

Model II

There have been isolated incidents where Model II owners have had difficulty removing the Cylindrical Radiator® from the Power Stand.

I would encourage all users that are concerned with this happening to them to add a drop of locktite to the (2) screws identified in the attached diagram.

Thank you
