Help with Spendor S8e . No Bass

Which cables for my Linn set-up?
Redling,Running aktiv, your Espeks need three channels of amplification and three pairs of speaker cables running to each one because they are three way speakers. Your Ekwal is a two way speaker, and therefore requires two channels of amplificatio...
