Just wondering which rear terminal set is the correct one to use when NOT bi-wiring? I assume the top set is higher frequencies and the bottom is bass when bi-wiring. But which one is better to use when leaving the connector plate in?

    Either one and you'll be ok. Enjoy the music.

    With the metal jumpers in place, it won't matter which you hook it too since the signal will flow to both...

    Thanks. Just wanted to make sure that it didn't make a difference. The manual wasn't clear.

    I've heard putting it in the top one makes treble clearer, but it sounds like a myth.

    So putting it in the bottom one will give better bass? Lol

    Put the positive in the top and the negative in the bottom. That way you'll get clearer bass and clearer highs.:p

    Seriously though...it makes no difference. Either pair is fine.
