| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling I'm running Silver 8's with an XPA gen 3 - 2 channel amp, basically same specs. No issues at all, unless you would decide to turn it way up. Very musical and coherent at moderate levels, with great bass, mods and treble at low volumes. Enjoy! | |

| Connect banana jumpers to locking banana speaker cables? Thanks for your thoughts lowrider57. I ended up ordering spades instead of stacking banana's. | |
| Connect banana jumpers to locking banana speaker cables? Thanks for the help everyone. I've been in contact with my cable manufacturer, and am probably have a set of jumpers made that mirror my cables. Since I'm going this route, I'll most likely have them terminated with spades. | |
