Anyone try this way to wire your loudspeakers?

"Good speakers use good wires."

Tell that to Spencer and Derek Hughes and legions of other speaker designers who have designed the world's finest speakers! The key to great sound is called "design," not "cable."

It seems to me that you (if the jumper wires are removed) you have changed the impedance of the mids/tweets as far as the amp is concerned. Have you tried swapping the leads between the 8 and 4 ohm taps to see what the diff is?

Jjreman,

Have not reversed leads yet, but after a house full of guest depart next week I will have the quite time to experiment and listen.

Very interested on the results.

Please let us know.

I reversed the leads last night and it was clear to me that I lost some bass only, with highs unaffected and mids just undecided. Listened most of today with same conclusion and that the swap was not that dramatic so I just switched everything back to my personal contentment. However, as originally stated the big gain with these loudspeakers and cables was wiring them separately from the 8ohm and 4ohm outputs dual shotgun - rather than my previous bi-wiring and also trying straight shotgun with jumper cables. Ah, now time to pour a whiskey, pull up Diane Schurr and listen to Louisiana Sunday Afternoon and other cuts from her COLLECTION album. Best to all AudioGoner's
