First I would like to say that I am impressed by the knowledge of some of the posters here at this site. Although I don't really understand a lot of whats being said. So please forgive me if this is an elementary question. I just bought f-1 tower speakers and on the back it has 2 red and 2 black terminals. I have a Denon 687 which has 8 terminals, for the front left and front right speakers. 4 are under A and four are under B. I guess what I am asking is should the 4 terminals be wired separately on the back of the F-1. Right now I have the one wire running through both neg terminals same for the positive. Then I just used A side on the receiver. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

You only need one black and one red wire from the amp to each speaker. Of the 4 terminals labeled A, two of them are for the left speaker and two of them are for the right speaker. Your speaker has 4 terminals because it can be bi-amplified, but I wouldn't bother with that as it'd be a waste of money for little-to-no performance gain. Notice the two black terminals on your speaker should be connected to each other with a metal plate (and the same with the red) so you only need to connect to one (of each color). The manual/directions that came with your speakers should have explained that, and the manual for your Denon should also have some connection diagrams.

Well, that makes (2) of us, but what I've gained in knowledge is just enough to make me dangerous[]
