Jump on this please..........


Using spade jumpers....and spade speaker cables.....which should be closest to the speaker ........the jumper spade or the speaker wire spade...In other words do you lay the jumper spade over the speaker wire spade or vice versa .....should the speaker wire spade go low to high.....or high to low.......or whichever you want to highlight ? Thanks.

Darrylhifi, are you demo'ing the Au24's?

If you look at my virtual system, I have a pic where hopefully you can see all the connections at the back of my speakers.

I have the Au24's mono wire with spaded terminations. I also purchased the 6 inch jumpers with banana terminations. Well, actually the jumpers are spade terminated too, but Audience connected those jumpers to some nice silver(?) banana adapters.

So the Au24 speaker cables go to the midrange/high binding posts, the jumpers are banana on the midrange/high binding posts and then spade terminated (as I removed the banana adapters on that end of the jumpers) to the woofer binding posts.

Even though the banana adapters appear to be good quality, I was not overly impressed with the banana connections, so I reinstalled my original jumper straps to work with the Au24 jumper cables.

And in do so, I noticed a decent improvement in the sonics.

Hope this helps.
