REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers


I will be connecting 2 T/9x's to my system (B&W 805 D4) driven by a NAD M33. I am wondering if there is any audible difference between connecting them to the amp or to the speakers directly and am guessing somebody here has tried it.

 

I only use the system for music and I listen relatively quietly, the "room" is 16 by 16 but open concept so the total space is 16 by 50.

I have done both. On my old setup my fancy speaker cables were terminated in banana at my amp end and spade at the speaker end. I had some custom rel spec cables from an even earlier setup that were terminated in banana so I just piggybacked them off the speakers. It worked fine. 

whenever I upgraded to my current system, and my new speakers, cables, and Rels I made sure to order spades for my main speaker cables so i could piggyback the banana rel cables off the amp. 
 

i suggest calling rel and just asking what they think!
