Speaker Sound


Hi.

I hope that I do not sound dumb asking this. I just connected a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's to a Krell S-300i without jumpers or biwire  speaker cable. Is it common to have a dull lifeless sound without jumpers or biwire speaker cable?

It is awful. When I connect to the woofer it is a faint tinny sound. When I connect to the tweeter, the sound is fuller but flat and dead. 

No. You need jumpers now. You’re only running part of your speakers.

Here’s a picture with jumpers. You can make jumpers with short pieces of wire, if needed.

 

Put jumpers in and be done with it. If you're thinking about bi-wiring for sound improvement, you're looking in the wrong place. Go with bi-Amping.
