Does anyone know what I saw ?

One time I went to an audio store to try out a new preamp. To check out the back panel jack quality, I took a look behind the large audio rack the pre was in. In addition to the standard RCA cables running into the preamp, I also noticed what looked like speaker lamp chord cable spliced to the RCA cables with a "T" type connection. If I recall, this was on the output side of the preamp. Why would speaker cables be hooked to a preamp output?

It was Clearly a Bose.

This was years ago, and it was an ARC LS2, so not too anemic and never to be confused with a Bose product.

Elizabeth, I think item #3 is the closest. These were speaker lamp cables spliced into the preamp outputs (one each channel). It was some type of audio store tweek that they don't want you to know about. That is what I suspect (The dark side of audio sales) that makes things sound better than they will in your system.

Could you please expand more on the pigtail tweek? It sounds interesting and something I have never heard of.
Were do you suppose the cables went to? Ithought they may goto a subwoofer too?
