Recently, a reader asked us if it was possible to use the A/B speaker selector to compare speaker cables. The short answer: because the A and B binding posts represent the same amplifier connection, you can hook up two sets of cables to your speakers for comparison purposes without risking damage. However, you can do a lot more than just compare cables with the A/B switch. You can also run your very own in-home speaker comparison with nearly instant switching. Pretty cool stuff.
