Terence,
I really like my S50's as they sound good and can pump out some strong bass with or without the sub-woofer on.
When I first purchased them and hooked them up I had them bi-wired using AR's 10 and 12 guage speaker wire. Once we moved I didn't re-hook them up doing the bi-wire method because I couldn't really hear a difference.
I hooked them up straight from the 5ES receiver using AR's 10G Master series speaker wire with banana plugs and I left the gold jumpers off. I replaced the gold jumpers with speaker wire. Yes I use the spikes because of carpeting in my HT room.
The only puzzle that I coulnd't ever figure out was those Foam Plugs that came with all of the speakers.
I left them out and stored them for now. Do you know what the Foam Plugs are for ?
Thanks
