The speaker stops working! And if powered by a valve amplifier, you risk damaging the amplifier.Quote:

If you really don't know why it wouldn't work then Google for a very basic introduction to circuits.
Any Triode valve amp would be fine, other types would risk damage as Barry says.
I didn’t know that part so thanks.

Fortunately, amp and speakers are fine.
He also, dropped a grille of my JBL L26...though no damage luckily.
I stayed polite, but when he asked i said the cd wasn’t conbected, the Jbl L26 had no crossover, and when he mentioned the thorens...no sodding way.
Complete ebay knob of the highest order.
But i’m confused how the speakers carried on playing with only 1 wire connected.
They can't play with one wire disconnected. You need a go and a return or + and -, without both there is no signal.
he couldn't have pulled one wire out completely or the speaker would not work
Like that horror film where they disconnect it entirely and it keeps on playing. Can't remember what that's from now.
