ProAc D Two Speaker Terminal Preferences...

The rear of the ProAc D2's have two sets of speaker terminals on the back of each speaker.

Curious as to what peoples experience has been when jacking in their speaker cables, either into the top (Treble) terminals or the Bottom (Bass) terminals?

As I understand it using the top speaker terminals offers a brighter "clean" sound and plugging into the bottom speaker terminals will add a little more bass.

I've inserted my cables into the top terminals still using the jumper bar that came with the speakers connecting to the bottom terminals.

All burn-in so far has been in this configuration. So, to all you non bi-wiring D2 owners out there, which rear terminals do you plug into and why?

Audioconnection - nice call. Bi-wired up with Kimber 8TC's and am rolling with the changes delightfully. It's only been about 20 hours but I'm starting to think bi-wiring is bettering single runs with ProAc D Twos.

Greetings Notec
Glad to hear you are enjoying the Proacs internally bi wired

A true Bi wiring with 2 separate runs off the ground and separate them apart at least 4 inches will bring
you to yet another level.
Enjoy Johnnyr

I have D2s and have also found that the lower terminals are best for single wiring. I have also found that using spades renders a better result than using banana plugs. Hope this helps.

Until you try the positive speaker wire to the Tweeters hot
and the Negative speaker wire to the Woofers Minus.
and run jumpers better best yet
But as mentioned above tru Biwire 2 home runs off the ground at least 4 inches apart will work by far best.
