Advise on speakers connection.

Greetings all,

basic but a very important question i have got here.

how best to wire speakers?

a) wire them to high F terminals.

b) wire them to low F terminals.

c) wire them diagonally.

d) it doesn't matter as long as the colours are matches correctly.

thanks

If your not biwiring/amping,the Lf terminals are the ones to use according to my various manuals i have knocking about.

Diagonally always sounds best imo.

Yeah, but which way?? 😉

You start with the LF and cross to the HF diagonally.

Which diagonal depends on which hemisphere you live in. In the Northern hemisphere bottom left to top right and the other way round in the Southern hemisphere.

Its OK for you but I live on the Equator so its no laughing matter.

Red = HF

Black = LF *crazy*

​I tested this with several speakers and the result was always the same.

I thought you had to match up the coloured jumpers across both sets of speaker terminals.

I recon this post is feeding confusion! Single wired, red-red & black-black jumpers then red lead to red socket (hf if u prefer) and black lead to black socket (of if u prefer). Exchanging from hf to lf is going to make no difference but convinced otherwise then try other alternatives (both lf or both hf etc).

Interesting yes. But IMO Nordost are the worst in gobboldygook and nonesense.

Just to clarify, I wasn't being serious! 🙂

Just to add clarity for the OP who may got get the humour, it doesn't matter if you wire to HF only, LF only or diagonal, the two sets of terminals are linked with jumpers.

Perhaps yout should try it too. You might be surprised.

Nordost and most other Hi Fi cable manufactures are a joke in the pro world, (The ones that make and produce the music you listen too) plus none of these cable manufactures have been able to provide any repeatable and scientifically proven evidence of their claims, therefore they should be avoided at all costs. (I would also be suspicious of dealers that recommend them as what else will they try and con you into buying)

The only coloured jumpers I have got are the ones I get for Christmas.

You're having a joke surely, or can't you see that the two sets of speaker teminals in bi-wirable speakers are joined at their terminals with links, so it really and honestly can't make a difference which pair you use, or any diagonal combination thereof, so long as you don't pick two reds or two blacks?
