Jazz in an R&B grooveHighNote 6012SACD, great sonics, and has the added advantage of being great music. 
Your thoughts please
I had a similar problem with my Yamaha M60 amp. The spades were too large because the connector were very close together. I ended up using bare wire and / or 'pin' connectors. Sometime I broke the pins if I screwed the plastic down too tight. Grea...
