Just one caution: If that earth connection on the speaker ties the common (negative terminal) to ground then it would damage an amplifier with active speaker terminal outputs if you ground the speaker.
Grounding Speakers
My Tannoy DC8Ti speakers have a ground connector. Can someone give me a good idea as to why I should use it? Full disclosure - I had them grounded to my pre amp before. I just received, assembled, and reinstalled my gear on a new Butcher Block four shelf rack. My other rack has 3 shelf, so I’m reconfiguring the layout.
My turntable is grounded to my phone pre Amp. My power amp also has a ground connector. Should I ground the speakers to the pre amp, power amp, or to a dedicated earth ground? And is there any reason to use the power amp ground?
