Hey James, what's the minimum length I would need for the 4BSST to each speaker? 4 or 5 ft? The amp is directly between the speakers on a Target base.

The speaker cable has to be long enough to reach from the amp to the speaker

Haha, I know that. But how far apart should I have my speakers. Well, anyway, I suppose 4 ft. will be enough...

Dave,

Depending on the dispersion characteristics of your speakers try to separate the speakers the same distance you are away from them.  So if you're 8 feet away separate them by 8 feet or slightly less.  You do not want a hole in the middle of the sound stage but you also want as wide a soundstage as possible.

I'll make a note of it, James.

Hi James,

which termination would you recommend for these speakercables to connect the 28b's  to Quad ESl63's? And how would I have to preceed in ordering them? They would have to be about two feet long.

Grtz,
Marius

Hi Marius

I would recommend the large spades on the amp end and the bananas on the speaker end. Just email Melissa at Bryston if you want a set - mmiles@Bryston.com

consider it done, thanx,

Why not bananas at the amp end, James?

[joeling39]

Some amps do not take bananas.

[amblin]

Some amps do not take bananas.

he's using 28B, the knob accepts both spades and bananas. ( so bi-wiring = spade + banana on the 28B)

[James Tanner]

Hi Dave,

The large spades we sell are heavily gold plated and snap into the bnding posts on the Bryston amps.  It provides a large non corrosive surface and a molecularly tight fit. On most speakers the binding post sometimes will not accept a spade very well so I find our 'expandable' banana works better in most cases.

 i just removed my banana's from my amp (4bsst2) and speakers as i was not getting a very good contact. it could have been because they were 20 years old and a bit oxidized or metal fatigue had set in. quite happy with just the spades no both ends now

Ok, cool. Spades at the amp end it is!

Hi James,

I was thinking about getting some of your new speaker cable to go with my new 4BSST2, but from the UK do I need to go through PMC or can I buy directly from you guys, or would the postage be prohibitive?

Cheers

Direct - PMC does not carry the cable. Contact Melissa at Bryston and she will give you a cost.  mmyles@bryston.com

Excellent, I will have a measure up and get in touch.

Thanks

Hi James,
I ordered with Mmiles@bryston.com as you hinted, but never got an answer. Mmyles@bryston should do the trick?

Hi
I just got 2 new sets of SC4. I mistakenly ordered 4 pairs instead of 2 pairs. Spades were for amp and bananas for speaker. So now am thinking of using them as a bi-wire of sorts (PMC speakers). Since the amp will not be able to fit both spades, as it too thick I am thinking of connecting the spare pair using the bananas. This means reversing the cable.

So my question is are the signal flow of the speaker cables engineered for 1 direction only.

So my question is are the signal flow of the speaker cables engineered for 1 direction only.

In general (and for ease) always go in the direction of the text printed on the cable. So:

AMPLIFIER ===> this is the text printed on the cable ===> LOUDSPEAKERS

And not:

LOUDSPEAKERS ===> this is the text printed on the cable ===> AMPLIFIER
