JBL HP-520 speaker thread. Fun.

No they will go under bed and a medium size rug to cover wires to receiver. Those aren't good. I never used monoprice speaker wires, just HDMI back in the day.

While I've run wire under carpet or on top where there's foot traffic I prefer having something like this. I've used the monoprice speaker wire 12g for several systems (the all copper type) and for quite a while, good stuff.

Thanks for the advice. I clean the room like every month, so I'll for sure give them a dust down. I got a little vacuum that should work(pictured). Man I'm so tired I couldn't do the next room. It's not too bad in there, but will get to it next week. Just got out from a cool shower. Ahhh Here are two pics:

These sucker are thick Monoprice ain't playing. Just two screws were just a bit loose on the bottom base. Tighten enough to leave a bit of slack. Sweating my butt off. More to come.

Doesn't help that the binding posts are on the bottom! 12g is what I use too, but I put nanners on mine because I'm always switching stuff around.

Took a bit of work. 10 inches from the back wall and 5 inches from sides. These image so darn well. Singer is dead center. I played around with a Tony Bennett song Steppin out with my baby and put it in Neo surround and heard the Piano part behind my head, so cool. The rug fit perfectly under the dresser to under the bed. Not my normal chair to sit. The regular big chair is next to it, so you can see the just cleaned rug. Love is in the air with the 520s.

I have some plastics one, but didn't want to search. Probably better that I didn't use em.

Hooked up new adapter to the turntable and now stereo bliss. Eventually I will need a better preamp than the Pyle, but for now it works. Some Spyra Gyra(1980 MCA) for some listening test. Barely a pop. A- condition. Tears.

Quick fix for the JBLs cave in.

A vacuum suck.

Presto back out and like new, phew!
