    As long as the brass jumpers are in place connecting both pairs of binding posts....it doesn't matter.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    With the jumpers in place i'm not sure it really matters, but I always hook up to the bottom post. The bottom posts are typically the bass drivers, and if for some reason more power was going to go to the drivers that the speakers are connected to i'd want them to go to the bass ones.
