Attaching speaker wire directly to crossover?


Recently, a seller on this forum was advertising a pair of Green Mountain EOS HDs that had been modified by attaching Marigo Labs speaker wire directly to the crossover - a $2200 upgrade, the seller said, noting that the Marigo Labs wiring is what gives that model its "HD" designation.

At any rate, I'm just wondering generally about the practice of attaching speaker wire directly to the crossover. Seems like an interesting idea, wondering what kind of benefits and drawbacks it might have sound-wise, and why we don't see this done more often?

Changing out the binding posts from an inexpensive factory stock to a decent quality set such as Superior Electric's, Vampire's, etc...can make a world of improvement. I personally would not consider wiring directly unless the spks were very, very inexpensive. Bill
