What’s That Smell?
Posted on | October 25, 2008 | No Comments
So, as part of my “I’ve learned from my mistakes” series, I’ll just say that if you’re going to bi-amp your speakers, make sure you removed the binding post jumpers. Otherwise, you’ll be feeding 60 cycles back into your amp and wondering what that smell is.
On a related note, I suggest to speaker manufacturers that they include jumpers with their speakers, but not have them factory-connected. It’s easy to forget they’re there and then when you decide at some point to bi-amp…well, let’s just say it’s better to have to add something than remember to remove it.
