Etc etc etc....You must have tore yer hair out in the design process....... :clap: :lol:
So that is where my hair went must have forgotten doing it. Design is never a problem for me stopping coming up with new things is. I design in bed or in the bath in my head, I rarely put thing down on paper. My PCB guys and my case guys get very frustrated with me as they have to draw things out from what I tell them. I thought this was normal but it seems others can't do this. I just draw things in my head or come up with ideas and the image stays.

Well Jammy I can't put up a shelf, it falls down, I can't repair a car engine, bits are left over and it never works again.

Same with computers they just make no sense to me, electrically I could build one as it is just building blocks, but as soon as softwear comes in or set up or debug I should just throw it out of the window as I will do that anyway after days of frustration. So I suppose a I have a strange brain :D :lol: :mrgreen:

Oh, this is exciting! :D
Well ultimately I would like to bi-amp but at the moment I only have single wire so would need to use links which isn't easy with bananas! I suppose I'll have to have them single wired for now and alter the wiring if/when I go for bi-amp.

You will have to bring them back for that and wait while I do it.

That would be ok. The best of it is that my LS6 were originally bi-wire and I altered them back to single! Can't be arsed to re-do them though.

I guess you could always make some jumpers with stacking banana plugs at one end. Then you simply plug your existing cable into the stacker. I've done this before. My Spicas are used that way if I'm not bi-amping.

Ah, but you see, me being me, if they didn't sound right I would be paranoid that it could be the links that were the problem and I'd have to start borrowing bi-wire cables and stuff. No, it's better that I start off with no ambiguity. 8-)

I've made jumpers with mains cable and they were OK. I think I have some 1 1/2 metre biwire LS5 I could lend.n Then you'll here the jump to LS6!

Ah, now there's a plan!
However, I plan to play the Cubes off against my Logans which are only single wire so I would have to use the LS6 for them and the LS5 for the Cubes introducing another variable into the equation. So, thanks for the very kind offer mate but I think I'll just go with the single wire option for the time being as it would probably be quite a while before I did the bi-amp thing anyway. Cheers.
