     ohh, about the speaker connection. i have never seen anyting like it. what's the proper the way to connect the speakers. right now, i got the bare-wire wrapped around the screw, and it seems to do the job. any suggestion?

     Now you done opened up a can of worms. I'm betting a number of people will chime in here.

     Wire around the screw works fine. As do crimp on connectors (circle or horseshoe), or soldered connectors, or... 

     Congrats on the score. They look quite nice.

    One of the nicer $500 pairs I've seen! Only thing I ever find around here are Cornwalls that have been used as bar stools, painted with black latex, covered with formica, or owned by a lady with 47 hairy dogs who used the grills and woofers to mark their territory! LOLOL!!!

    Use "forks" to connect. Radio Shack specials for about $0.99.....

    thanks. that's what i saw the previous owner use to connect, fork.

    i was shocked to see him use what seems like 24 gaugue speaker wires. he said there's no need to use anything bigger since these speakers are supper efficient.

    is this true? i always thought, the bigger the better.
