Thiel Owners

If you decide to keep the pos/neg separate cable configuration 
then you might want to re-solder you speaker post so one is on the top and the other on the bottom , that way your cables can lay like you had them originally .  

You might want to consider increasing the gauge wire in your amp that goes to the speaker posts , my amp had 12 gauge and going up to the 9.5 was a definite improvement .

@beetlemania
I should amend my recommendation about rewiring in your amp ,
I looked at images of Aryre AX-5 twenty and saw a beautiful image of electronics with no way to change speaker wires internally .
Between the Arye and the Spectral I don't know which has a more beautiful well layed out board .

Interesting idea about rewiring the binding plates. I’ll consider that if I decide I prefer your parallel configuration. Still running the standard. I want to have one more critical session with this configuration. 
Right, I have no intention of modding my Ayre. That volume control is mounted on the back plate for a reason :)

I hope you will one day have an opportunity to audition the Ayre AX-5 Twenty.  A very fine Audio experience indeed.

Happy Listening!

Hey wire nuts - I've gone down a rabbit hole with Steven Hill about wire configurations, pros and cons and theoretical considerations that are way above my pay grade. I'm testing samples and configurations that he sends.

Also, I have developed some observations about the normal vs parallel runs using my OCOS and Morrow wire. I'll chime in after Beetle shares his experience with us.
And - someone here reported his 2.7s as having straight (non twisted) internal wire. I checked with Rob who said that all the 2.7s (all classic Thiels, period) had the normal Thiel wire. So those 2.7s were someone's hotrod. Back to the lab.
