2. cables

Any one else have this complaint?

I have avalon speakers and the binding posts are on the bottom, and it is a huge pain to change them(speaker cables). I believe Vandy's are the same way. I just changed speaker cables again and it take about an hour to tip them over change the cables get them back on the spikes and then close to the right spot , and toy with them getting them perfect over the next few days. With some speakers you don't have to do this, it is enough of a pain that I would not get another pair of avalons for this reason- am I the only one who thinks it is as annoying as it is? their must be a better way!!

Well it seems to be agreed that it is a huge pain!!

Rmml-appreciate the offer- and the cables are sounding better with only 15 hours on them.

Mes- We made it, those guys are too old to party hard!! Hell Bill fell asleep while listening- which I didn't think was possible; like falling asleep during sex, just not a possability at my age!! Thanks for asking- shame you couldn't have made it out, maybe next time.

I hope to make it next time, and I'm MUCH younger than those guys :-)

My Wilson Benesch speakers have the same feature. Tri-wire binding posts on the bottom of the speaker. I have to lift each 125 pound speaker and lay it on its side (on pillows) to access the posts.

When I first got the speakers, I thought the feature was cool but after making many speaker cable changes, I find the feature tremendously annoying.
