RE: Question to Silverline Sonata-III users

I have Silverline Sonata II (not III), single-wired. I have the speaker cables connected to the low frequency terminals (spades) with short jumper cables connecting the pairs of terminals (banana). I've never thought of doing it otherwise - it just seems logical to me to let gravity work in my favor by connecting to the bottom pair, which happen to be the woofers. I'd be interested to know if you hear any significant difference.

Off topic: I think Silverline speakers are awesome and underappreciated. I've owned the Sonata IIs for twenty years and love their sound and appearance. Every other component in my system has changed multiple times during that period, but I can't seem to let go of these speakers - they are truly my "reference" for evaluating sound quality. I've auditioned speakers worth 3x - 4x the cost that don't measure up. I feel like they have gotten warmer and richer sounding over time, like a vintage guitar or violin does. But maybe it's just my ears and what's between them.


. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
