| Spade vs. banana plug Two companies that place a high priority on measurements, Benchmark and Purifi, use SpeakOn connections at the amp end. I am going to try SpeakOn terminated speaker wire with the AHB2 amp that I just bought. I will compare them with my existing Au... | |

| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 KEF Reference 1@ jjss49 I am doing is the other way around this time. Gear first (which I recently got) and speakers last. This new system will be better than anything I built before. | |
