    Lengths of Banana plug?

    Hello all, I have a pair of Neat Motive, really like them and want to set them up as 'neat' as possible. the current banana plugs don’t go all way the down, the actual connection inside is about 13mm, it doesn’t make a difference in sound quality, but they are a bit wobbly. I saw images online...

    Monitor Audio Bronze BX2, Sound too bright

    ps. I put the foam plugs in, but still not much help with the booming issues. The current made-do is to tune the bass and treble on the amp, losing quite a bit of details. I know it is rather unfair to compare a set of budget speakers with Tannoy Prestige, which my parents had when I was...

    Monitor Audio Bronze BX2, Sound too bright

    just got a set of Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 pairing with Marantz PM6005 a couple days ago, the overall impression is that: It is bright, very bright It has a booming bass, but seems no mid gound, i.e. drum is booming, volin is bright, but viola is thin. Similar situation regardless it is Apple...
