Wiring the B&W M-1?
So I just scored an M-1 for $89, fantastic condition so I'm happy. I've got some nice speaker wires, how on earth do I hook them up? The screws where to connect the speaker wire looks a bit tiny... Anything I am missing?

P1et,
I had the M1's. Nice speaker. if you are using the stand with it, the wires attach to the underside of the stand (remove the bottom cover, you will see). If you use the wall mount, you take the plastic cover off and the markings are visible.
Hope this helps. -
Thank you for the reply. I did see the rubber cover you can remote off the "foot" and it houses the Allan wrenches. It just seems that where you connect the speaker wires, that it is a really small hole.
Does that mean that I just cannot really connect up any high quality speaker cables? What was everyone else using?Comment

P1et,
I agree that it is a small hole, so no large guage wiring is likely to work. As I recall, I was using basic bulk Audioquest type 2 at the time. It took a bit of effort, but it worked.
Hope this helps.Comment

I used 18 gauge speaker wire, and later 24 gauge. Honestly, with those speakers the gauge didn't make any difference.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720Comment

I have also M1 and it is a little bit hard to find the wright connection... You have to work with the small small alen, that it has a smallest head for the screw that is back of the speaker base... Be carefull with the base because it is very easy to loose contact with the speaker and then you will have to spend an hour to find the wright position!!
YES I know, my english are horrible!! SORRY!!!

As suggested by 703 manual it's recommended that one can connect both the positive and negative of the speaker cable terminals to the woofers first, or to the tweeters first, it doesn't really matter. However, if the speaker cables are connected to woofer first, I find that the sound becomes a little... -
I bought a used LCR600 S3 (sorrento, yay!) and had it shipped to me. I didn't know it before shipping, but it's missing the two metal pieces that connect the speaker terminals. Is there a better name for these? I called my only local B&W store and left a VM. They haven't been too helpful in the... -
Okay, so I've been working over the last couple weekends when I've had time to rewire my 604s3, LCR600, and 602s3 (got 4 of them).
This initially started out when I took my speakers over to the meet at WKHanna's house to compare. I noticed how much "warmer" these sounded over... -
Possible case that speaker wires and balanced versus RCA connections make a difference that I had not considered.
This hobby is complex in nature, and it's interesting that one gets to continue learning along the way through experimentation.

Hi,
I had a rather simple question about hooked up speakers to an amplifier.
There are 4 wires on the cable that I got (bundle made of a red, black, white and green wires) and I was told to twist the red & white and connect it to the amp and then connect the red to...
