Through-hole size of D200 speaker binding posts
« on: 11 Feb 2007, 06:03 pm »
Dusty,
An obscure question maybe, but do you know the size of the hole on your binding posts on the D200 amps? It looks quite large but I was looking for something a bit more accurate!

Specifically, I was thinking of stuffing two 12 guage bare anti-cables into each lug for biwiring. An AWG table lists 12 ga as 2.05 mm diameter.

Thank you.

Binding post hole diameter spec is 0.215"

Dusty,
Thank you for your immediate (do you sleep?) reply!

In case others are wondering, a 12 ga wire has a diameter of 0.0808 inches, so two should fit easily into the D200 holes.

I am using a combination of Spades and bananas on 12 gauge wire. Spades to the woofer module and bananas to the mid/high module. Too much of a pain in the ass trying to get the wire in the binding holes!!! Frustrating!!!

I do sleep...but usually only about 6 hrs a day. My awake hours are mostly spent on something audio related (and a little on my cars). Even though we're closed on the weekends, I'm still usually doing something work related...that's how it works when your hobby is also your business  :)

I use the Harmonic Tech Pro-11 cables with locking bananas...I prefer these over spades or bare wire.
