Simple wiring question.

[Kfox1970]

The Klipsch speakers I bought each have 2 positive and 2 negative terminals. I understand that’s so they can be bi wired, which I’m not doing. Does it matter if I use the 2 higher terminals or 2 lower terminals?

Nope, can use one of each if you keep the connectors in place, too. Just keep the connectors in place. Generally these bi-wiring/bi-amping terminals are a marketing feature than one of any actual benefit.

Not really. Most seem to like using the low terminals. I’ve seen a photo or two where one high and opposite low was used…

whatever you do, just make certain the jumpers are securely attached!

The lower ones do keep the cable closer to the ground and less in sight....and that's indeed what I tend to do, unless the speaker is wall mounted perhaps....

Plus you can use shorter cable elevators...
