According to "Stereophile" Satori shotgun is to be used on 3 or 4 way speakers and Hologram for 2 ways. My B&W CDM7NT's are considered a 2 1/2 way so which cable do I use?
I agree with Rsbeck, On the other hand..If you like the speakers a good sub would add far more bang for buck than the cables will. You could also replace the cheap jumper with a better one for not much money.
Sogood51 and Audiobugged are right on about getting rid of those cheap brass jumper plates. If you're currently using a single run, you may want to try fashioning some jumpers out of some leftover cable just to hear the difference. You will be pleasantly surprised.
For what it's worth I'm using a single run of Satori's with jumpers on my 2 way monitors with excellent results. Much better than biwire to my ears. Good luck!
If you are keeping the speakers, I too would suggest not using the shotguns. Instead of using a jumper of any kind, remove the back plate and directly connect all four leads (2+ and 2-)to the appropriate "bottom" terminals, leaving the top terminals "unconnected". Then use a single run of Satori and be happy.
Everyone seems to favor the "Satori" over the "Hologram" I suppose but since my speakers are bi-wire design shouldn't I use bi-wire cables? I am new at this so a little confused why some of you are suggesting a single wire with new jumpers or connecting 2+ and 2- wires behind the speaker plates together to a single wire connection. I truly do appreciate your responses.
