What is the easiest way to remove the metal jumpers on the speaker post. Do you need any tools, to take them off. Can i damage the speaker post if i do something wrong. I am considering bi wiring my speakers since i do not use the surrounds backs i my set up. Is there any one out there that has bi-wired the m60s and notice a diffrence in the sound. Thanks in advance for directions and advice

    Just unscrew the binding posts all the way until they come off and then slide off the metal jumpers. It's very easy, no tools necessary. I did not notice any difference when I bi-wired my Monitor 60's.

    Not sure on the monitor series. For my LSi's the jumpers had a hole in the top and a slot in the bottom. To remove them, you only had to loosen the nuts on the bottom post and slot would slide free. For the top though, you had to take the black and red nuts all the way off. No tools needed, just keep unscrewing....

    Good luck.
