Speaker Sound


Hi.

I hope that I do not sound dumb asking this. I just connected a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's to a Krell S-300i without jumpers or biwire  speaker cable. Is it common to have a dull lifeless sound without jumpers or biwire speaker cable?

Yes. But put the jumpers back in, in the mean time. Just listening to the woofer has got to sound terrible.

It is awful. When I connect to the woofer it is a faint tinny sound. When I connect to the tweeter, the sound is fuller but flat and dead. 

No. You need jumpers now. You’re only running part of your speakers.

Here’s a picture with jumpers. You can make jumpers with short pieces of wire, if needed.

 

Put jumpers in and be done with it. If you're thinking about bi-wiring for sound improvement, you're looking in the wrong place. Go with bi-Amping.
