Hello Polkies,

:sad:I feel stupid for asking this but how to you remove the plug in the center of the speaker terminals to use the banana plugs?

I just got the Csi A4 yesterday and I have to say the clarity on it was so much better than my CS10. I thought the CS10 was good but after putting the A4 up i noticed better in your face imaging and less boxy-ness than the CS10. It made it hard to tell that my T90e's were even playing. When I hook it up to my SC-35 I imagine the sound will be even better! Rti A7's will be here on monday then its off to the races.

    Assuming your Polk teminals are the similar to my Klipsch's just take a small screwdriver or something similar and pop them right out.

    I just unscrewed mine all the way, carefully turned them upside down and tapped them lightly on a hard surface and they came right out... screwed the terminal back onto the post.

    Repeat steps 1-2.

    Just unscrew the speaker terminal until it comes off. Then pop off the red and black caps (you might need a small screwdriver). Then screw the terminal back on and plug in your banana plugs. :wink:

    Nothing directed twards you. It was an inside joke. Polkfarmboy broke some binding posts off his emotiva amp. He then started posting about emotiva's bad customer service, and product quality. Most people didn't see it his way and gave him crap about using so much foce to break them off.

    just unscrew them all the way and use a screw driver to pop the center plugs out. Mine came out just by unscrewing the nuts.
