Any one else have this complaint?

I have avalon speakers and the binding posts are on the bottom, and it is a huge pain to change them(speaker cables). I believe Vandy's are the same way. I just changed speaker cables again and it take about an hour to tip them over change the cables get them back on the spikes and then close to the right spot , and toy with them getting them perfect over the next few days. With some speakers you don't have to do this, it is enough of a pain that I would not get another pair of avalons for this reason- am I the only one who thinks it is as annoying as it is? their must be a better way!!

Just for clarification, the binding posts are on the bottom wall of the speakers not the lower part, they are dead square in the middle of the bottom(ie underneath)!! what a pain

Some mixed feelings here, perhaps an hour is embelishing a little but it does take longer then 7 minutes(Scon90 that is simply amazing!!). Maybe I am being over dramatic about this but it does seem to be a pain- I am not the only one who feels this way. Lifting them and what not is not an issue I am actually VERY healthy(those who know me help me out here ;) albeit perhaps a little lazy. ~Tim

(edit)
Scon90- How do you get your speakers perfectly placed after the tipping thing? it takes me a while to get them close and then some tweeking for the next few days. I am thinking marble or sandstone slabs may help-with the spikes going from the speakers onto the slabs- because you would have the right toe and be darn close location wise. hmmmm something new to think about.

Well it seems to be agreed that it is a huge pain!!

Rmml-appreciate the offer- and the cables are sounding better with only 15 hours on them.

Mes- We made it, those guys are too old to party hard!! Hell Bill fell asleep while listening- which I didn't think was possible; like falling asleep during sex, just not a possability at my age!! Thanks for asking- shame you couldn't have made it out, maybe next time.
