does cm9 take banana plugs?

[exSG]

does anyone know? there is this plastic plug that is in the way which prevents me from inserting the banana plug. can it be removed?

also how long is the running in time? 100 hrs?

thanks.

Yes, I got them for the time between my 802D and my new 800 Diamond. Removed all plugs.

thanks..how did you remove them? they are so difficult to come out, even with a pair of pliers.

You'll need to remove the plastic protection plugs. They are a pain to get out. I had to use a knife to pry underthem... Of course make sure you remove the threaded piece first..

great idea! that should work!

are they good speakers? I sort of like bought them without much audition.

Well I have not heard the CM9 personally (only the CM7), but I have owned the 683 and now have the 804s. The CM9 fits snuggly between the two where the older 700 series was.

I liked my 683 and I love my 804s. At their given prices I found both speakers excellent. I am sure the CM9 will be the same. Of course this is a B&W board and I love B&W sounds.. From what I have read about the CM9 you bought a great set of speakers.

Enjoy them..!
