In Reply to: 1.6 has separate terminals for tweeter and woofer posted by Ed Hsu on March 21, 2000 at 18:46:03:
Hi Ed,
Are the dotted lines above the infamous
steel jumper that people talk about? So the
1.6's have two sets of binding posts on back?
I've heard that the binding posts are kind
of weird, any comments? Why would they have
such strange ones, are they possible to upgrade?-D
The dotted lines are the infamous plated steel jumpers.There are three sets of sockets from top to bottom
top - for single wiring when jumpers in place (top socket is just connected to middle socket)
middle - connected to tweeter only
bottom - connected to woofer onlyWhen Bi Wiring top sockets are not used
Maggie banana sockets look like plated steel hex nuts with the threads drilled out. There is also a grub screw that can pressure the inserted banana, although one can argue that the basket of the banana would actually have worse contact. I will be replacing the hex sockets with gold Vampire or copper Edison Price binding posts
The cheapest component of the whole speaker is the tweeter fuse holder, the quality of a table lamp bulb socket ! I will be eliminating the fuse holder completely. My fuses are currently bypassed with some high quality connecting wire and the HF panel sounds more detailed
Hi Ed,> I will be replacing the hex sockets with gold
> Vampire or copper Edison Price binding postsHow much work will that take? Will they retrofit
in pretty well? I wonder if it would be possible to
put a Neutrik Speakon connector there..-D
