Speaker wire termination
Wed, Feb 6 2008, 11:23PM
Is it necessary to terminate my speaker wire or can i buy unterminated and just connect via the bare wire
I'm thinking of buying QED silver anniversary + to connect up my Onkyo605 with my Monitor Audo BR2/BRC fronts and Radius R45 rears
Also i was considering biwiring the BR2 fronts for better stereo music and possibly combining this with the QED silver micro for the rears(smaller for under the carpet)
Any thoughts

All of that sounds absolutely fine to me.
There's no reason to terminate apart from the ease of plugging/unplugging, and many believe that just using bare wire gives a better connection
The biwiring should be fine too, as will running the similar (but not identical) wires to the rears.
