I knew it was small, but when you take it out of the box, it’s small (but heavy). I listened with a friend for 3 hrs last night, that little Luxman is amazing. You made me think, I still have those cables, Just for fun I’m gonna compare my Fisher 80z Tube Mono Blocks with my ’new to me’ Luxman SQ-N150 10 wpc Integrated Tube Amp that arrived yesterday. I had a Pair of Fisher 80z Tube Mono Blocks (30 wpc) Fisher 500C Tube Receiver (30 wpc) McIntosh SS MC2250 (250 wpc). This is when EVERYONE picked LP over CD R2R tape over LP Tubes over SS. This type, the speaker wire connection to the plug can mysteriously loosen, the WBT uses a pair of allen key set screws, the wire connection never loosened. The knurled ends are for tightening the speaker wire, once, then it’s simply push in/pull out.
In the past I used some Radio Shack self-tightening type (fixed pair which maintains spacing). I put a 6 ft pigtail with female from the speakers that I could reach without bending! A couple years of comparative listening, myself and with friends. No I don't work for them.Not for me when I had 3 alternate amps going: 3 sets of color coded speaker wires, all with separate WBT Banana Plugs (you manually tighten them when you insert them). One of the few items on that is genuinely less expensive than purchasing locally is the selection of MIT cables (hopefully this holds true for other cable brands too). The difference between the radio shack interconnect and the Audioquest interconnect is audible, but not as huge. The difference between the CD player manufacturer supplied cable and the Radio Shack gold plated cable is tremendous. 4MM Banana Connector with Screw Lock For Audio Jack Speaker Plugs Black&Red.
Here I use Audioquest cables, though I'm sure I could get a little more exotic here too. CARTRIDGES FOR RADIO SHACK CARTRIDGES: 42-2561 422561 R900EDT R1000E. I did splurge for the CD player (digital out) to receiver (digital in) and for the receiver to external amp connections. I use Radio Shack gold plated interconnect cables for many connections. I don't know that any other speaker cable manufacturer has an equivalent technology. Better, cleaner highs, solid and precise lows, focused imaging. If you have ever spent a lot of time listening to a set of speakers through a high quality speaker cable, and then have to listen to speakers through thin cable like many audio store chains use in their listening rooms (aka Audio King in Woodbury, MN for those of you near that area), the difference in the quality of the sound is unmistakable. I don't know if they change the sound one bit, but still well worth the investment. Yes, Radio Shack Banana Plugs are a must simply from a convienience standpoint. You can always experiment with more expensive cabling later and see what you think.

Very small Portable or Pocket-Set (Handheld) < 8 inch. Just make sure you have a sufficient gauge of speaker wire for your runs, and make sure that you get a very solid connection at the receiver and speakers. Model: Micronta Analog Multimeter 22-211 - Radio Shack Tandy, Realistic, Shape. Personally, I'd spend more money on the component cable and other interconnects than speaker wire. This has worked quite well for me.Īs Mike said, you could spend quite a bit more or less and be happy. Easy and tidy option for bi-wiring, and you should be able to buy this wire at a local shop for less than $.90 a foot. Monster makes a 4 x 14ga bulk cable (2 pair of 14ga in one casing). If your runs to your center and mains are short (say under 12 feet), you might consider trying a fairly cheap bi-wire option for these speakers. Don't want to get into the speaker wire debate, really, but I agree that decent (like Monster) 12ga will suffice. I also use the Monster M-500 component video cable and have no complaints. Bare wire/wire termination is debated, but I haven't noticed a difference assuming I get a solid connection. I use Monster twist-crimp banana plugs for convenience of wire termination and connection/disconnection (I think $12 for four plugs). Might want to re-do these connections every once in a while if you're worried about oxidation. I agree with Mike, bare wire connections are fine.
