Google says they’re worth around $3000 at that price I wouldn’t take the chance of screwing anything up. Anybody who is interested in those speakers are going to know how to test them properly. Let them be the one. My deepest condolences on your loss hopefully with the funds you receive, you can acquire a system that fits in your home in memory of such a wonderful man.
Basic question - connect McIntosh integrated amp to LS360 speakers?
Hi, all. I have a very basic question. I inherited my dad's beloved McIntosh LS360 speakers, MA6850 integrated amplifier, and MCD7009 CD player and would like to sell them (too big for my little house). I need to test the speakers first, but I can't figure out how to connect the amplifier to the speakers (hey, I said it was a basic question!). My dad had Tributaries A2 silver OFHC audio interconnects, and the speakers have binding posts, but the interconnects won't plug into the binding posts. Do I need an adapter? Should I buy some basic speaker cable and use that instead? Or something?
If I can connect the amp and speakers, would I connect to the High or Low binding posts for the purpose of testing the speakers? (A few years ago, a retired McIntosh engineer cleaned, repaired, and tested the integrated amp, but he has moved away.)
Thanks so much for your patience and knowledge!
