Freaky speaker experience:


I have the Nuforce 9SE pre's and amps. I had them attached to my Focal JMLABS 936; bi-wired at the speaker but single ended at the amp. They sounded soooo crappy (tinny, bright, fatiguing) that I was ready to toss them off the second floor window. :) Could'nt understand. For kicks, I single wired it using the original jumpers. Now they sound awesome. About 10 cd's later still awesome.????? They sound different but as good as my Totom Mani's. Any ideas about the bi-wiring? Too much juice going to the high end?

Plus, my wife hears the same thing. Same albums. I go back and forth between my Totems and these. Before I added the jumpers we both disliked the Focals. Now, we are feaked and stunned. We don't understand.

I also am not ready to sell the Focals now. I would have given them away two days age. But I want to make sure it isn't my imagination..... Placebo......
I am going to have my wife try and trick me by bi-wiring and not bi-wiring; good suggestion. I want to make sure this is real. Plus play more music. But it was such a change that I believe it is real and not what I hope is real. I hated to think that I had to sell those huge heavy things in this market.....

No I tripple checked and the wiring has always been in phase.
