wiring monoblocks to speakers

Hi

I am trying to figure this out for a while

What is the best way to wire the MB to the speakers. Long interconnects and MB close to the speakers or the MB close to the Preamp and longer wires to the speakers.

Thanks a bunch!

If you can't be bothered why even respond. As you can see other are only to happy to help.

If the preamp and amp have balanced techmology (XLR), use long interconnects and short speaker cables. Otherwise, do the reverse...

All scientific stuff aside....monoblocs look very cool sitting next to the speaker.

Long speaker cables usually raise their capacitance and with some amps this can roll off the top end. Like hanging a capacitor over the posts. Keep spk. Cables short and interconnects longer if shielded adequately. Jallen
