Fellow Polksters

I am going to purchase some new speaker cables in the near future (probably Signal Cable). I have a couple of quick questions that I hope you can answer...

1) What width of spade do I need for LSi9s and LSiC (1/4", 5/16", or 3/8")?
2) I have a Rotel RMB-1075 for amplification. Should I get the bi-wire option? Any perosnal experience with 9s and C bi-wired? Is it worth the extra $$$?

Thanks, repserc

    I would go with nanners...easier to deal with. I use a good jumper and do not bi-wire. Bi-wire is a many splendid thing...some say yes and some say no...You will have to try it your self. Good cables though...clup polk get 5% off so mention this.
    :eek: From the bottom it looks like a steep incline, From the top another down hill slope of mine.:mad: But I know the equilibrium's there!:cool: .."Faith No More" :D

    I requested spades on my Signal Cable wires, and they're not quite wide enough for the LSi terminals. I squeezed them on there, but you'd probably want a little bigger.
    I'm guessing mine are 1/4", but ask Frank. I'm sure he'll know what to get you.

    For what it is worth, the solderless, screw on type Monster spades fit LSi posts very well, and remain securely attached to multistranded wire.
