Biwire oval 9's, single Zen Satori - surprised

I have the VR4SRmk2 and love the Satori Shotguns in my system.

Fz1jmp,

Shotguns are optimized for low and high frequencies (not identical) and marked accordingly. I had to install spades and discovered that wires inside are exactly the same. I doubt that there is any other difference.

Be careful if you terminate yourself because between whole bunch of solid insulated wires (about 10) one is stranded containing again at least 10 strands of very thin wire. Be sure to clean it and not to break. I crimped AQ spades with AQ crimper borrowed from local audio store and then soldered with 4% silver solder heating wire first to avoid thermal expansion of the spade that might release oxygen free connection.

I was not going to terminate the 2nd set of Satori's. My other set are terminated with spades, the new pair are terminated with bananas, so I'm just going to connect them using the banana plugs. Now thats not a probable is it? I will have banana plugs and spades connected at my amp end. I figure thats true separation.

Fz1jmp, I wasn't crazy about bananas that it came with (getting loose) but it wasn't perhaps factory termination (I bought it used). Sound-wise the best should be bare wires followed by spades and then bananas, but I couldn't hear any sonic improvement with spades.
