Wouldn't it be funny if on the opposite side of the speaker binding posts (inside the speaker cabinet) the conductors came back together as they would 'normally' be wired?
This reminds me of an integrated amp that I owned years ago. It was a tube design and had a rectifier tube right there among the other tubes, just like you would expect a tube amp to have. While looking inside the amp, I saw a SS rectifier under the tube itself! Pulling the rectifier tube had no effect whatsoever! The amp played as it always had. How much of this goes on out there?
