    Exactly this. But remember to replace those gold jumper bars with some of the same cable.

    Yes, that matches my experience with it. Had some excellent results using NVA LS5 configured that way.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    This might be of interest: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...-and-Bi-wiring.

    I would also commend the use of cable such as the NVA LS5 for bi-wiring.

    Ah, so that's why I keep ending up in the toilet - I should be following the smell of two-stroke, not Marco's guffs...
