== The {{L1}} System (Physical) ==

Here is one way you can think about the {{L1}} System.

Note: the {{Model I}} provides the same audible output. It is just more efficient than the {{Classic}}.

=== {{L1 CR}} ===

The {{L1 CR}} This is one loudspeaker that happens to break down into two pieces for travel.

This is driven by two separate amps, but this is not important because under normal circumstances both amps are driven identically. One drives the top half of the {{L1 CR}} and the other drives the bottom half. Because the {{L1 CR}} should always be operated as a single unit, what happens when you break it down isn't relevant.

=== {{B1}}s ===

If you break the pair of {{B1}}s in half, and use just one of them, it draws 125 watts.<ref>one {{B1}} loudspeaker connected draws up to 125 watts at 8 ohms</ref>

{{B1}}s

If you don't use the {{B1}}s at all, the amp that is normally used to drive them is idle.

== Use the proper cables ==

=== Model I ===

The {{Model I}} handles the B1s the same way, but with a more efficient design provides the same audible output from the {{L1 CR}} with a single 250 watt amp.
