Aren't you tied to thin speaker cables though? I hated the bloody things but loved the 707 otherwise...
Not particularly, I use a fairly heavy cable. The Speakon comes in two pole and four pole varieties, the two pole one takes larger diameter conductors than does the four, the Quad uses the two. They do the job they were designed for very well, they weren't designed for domestic Hi-Fi, and solve many of the problems associated with repeated set-up and break-down.
At the time, part of the reason stated for the design was so that the speaker could sit virtually flat back against the wall. The spacings were based on fitting Linn Kans, Saras etc...before Naim made speakers themselves.guy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2017 8:23 pm I didn't want to cause too much drift on the AOS thread, so I have started this one.
Do the plastic plug casings on the Naim speaker plugs offer a mechanical advantage by holding the "pins"/banana plugs slightly in tension against the socket walls - I always thought the spacing of the pins in the plugs made it a bit of a tight fit getting the plugs in and out
