Just go with the way that sounds better. It won't hurt anything. A set of quality jumper cables would probably be a good investment. If you call The Cable Company they should have some several options. Also, a good local dealer may make some up for you. John at Audio Connection made me some really nice jumpers using Kimber when I bought my speakers.
Correct method of hooking up Sonus Faber speakers?
I own a set of SF Olympica 3 speakers and I'm curious about their optimized hook up. Using a single run of speaker cables, does 1 connect to the bottom set of terminals or the top set of terminals? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Sonus Faber recommends best results connecting to the top set of terminals where conventionally we start at the bottom and run a set of jumpers to the top. Perhaps SF owners can chime in here and let me know the ideal method to get best results. To date I've been going to the bottom terminals and then jumpers to the top but find a slight brightness to the speakers. Thanks in advance for any advice here.
