lumi38ca Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Need some help. I recnetly purchased F2's, sub10 and SS1 and need to match the centre speaker. I live in Canada and BB only carries the C1 but understand I need a C2 to match. Any suggestions on where to find a C2 or waht my alternatives are whether Klipsch or other brands Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 A B2 would also work for the center channel. But really a C1 should work just fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumi38ca Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks for the advice. One other question since I am a newbie. How do I wire my speakers, not familiar with these screw type plugs and not sure if I need to wrap the sire around the threads and tighten or pass the exposed wire through the holes then tighten.

RichardP Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 If you plan to plug and unplug and move speakers around a lot, then attach a banana plug to the end of each wire, and plug it into the end of the binding post "nut" or through the hole. If not, then split the speaker wire about 2" from the end, remove about 3/4" of plastic from each half, twist the bare wires into a clean "prong," and pass it into the hole, then tighten down the nut.

robbyrob Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Just wanted to mention that I emailed BestBuy Canada asking them if they would consider carrying the full Synergy line instead of just the lowest end of it. They said that they'll look into it and get back to me. It's strange that they do carry the F3 and B3 but nothing higher than the C1 or S1. Below is a portion of the reply that I received from them: ...we were happy to escalate your inquiry to the appropriate department to determine if we plan on carrying the C3, C2 S3 and S2. When we receive a response, we will contact you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I would wrap the wire around the threads and tighten them down too. You want as much contact as possible. Those little holes are often smaller than your guage wire. You can use pins if you want or use bananna plugs even safer.. easier too. Up to you. My opinion personally? I would wrap the wires down after you twiste em, and tighten them down good. No need on THAT contact to introduce something into the sound chain.

colterphoto1 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Klipsch has some C3's for sale on EBay at a very good price. The holes in the binding posts will actually take banana plugs as well, so they should be good with at least 12 gauge wire, I'd twist the wire, insert in the hole, and crank the knob down for the most secure connection.

colterphoto1 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 If you check the specs, the F2 and the C3 are actually more compatible in terms of efficiency and they have the same woofer. The F2 and C1 would not be recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
