I used to use two separate runs of Tara Labs Space and Time speaker cables without jumpers. I have switched to using the jumpers with a single run of heavy Tara Labs RSC Prime Bi-Wire cables. I don't remember reading the SF recommendation of using the upper terminals, but after reading your post I moved the banana plugs to the upper terminals. I have doubts that it will make a difference, but I'll give it a try.
Correct method of hooking up Sonus Faber speakers?
I own a set of SF Olympica 3 speakers and I'm curious about their optimized hook up. Using a single run of speaker cables, does 1 connect to the bottom set of terminals or the top set of terminals? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Sonus Faber recommends best results connecting to the top set of terminals where conventionally we start at the bottom and run a set of jumpers to the top. Perhaps SF owners can chime in here and let me know the ideal method to get best results. To date I've been going to the bottom terminals and then jumpers to the top but find a slight brightness to the speakers. Thanks in advance for any advice here.
