Spendor SP100 Question


I have a new pair of Spendor Sp100's. These speakers allow for tri-wiring. Is that the way to go ? I currently single wire with Audience AU24 cables and attach to the woofer binding post. Is tri-wiring better and what type cables are the best for this setup ? Are there any sp100 users out there and what is your favorite amp with this speaker ?

I have owned the Spendors for quite some time now. First, do not use the jumper plates supplied by Spendor, and get some decent jumper cables with spades. I use the bottom post with a single wire banana plug, and jumper from post one to two, and a jumper from post two to three. I have tried Bi-Wiring but to me there was not much of a difference going the single wire route. Have never found the Spendors to be as efficient as claimed but I have always used a modified Audio Research Classic 60. Once you get settled in with these speakers you should look at a REL Sub just to boost the bottom end a little bit. They are fabulous with the REL's. I actually have two REL Storm's, and they are an impressive set. I have lusted after many speakers but when I listen to the Spendors there is no need to spend anymore. Great purchase, and I am confident that you will love them.
I own a pair of Spendor SP 1/2s (the model below the 100s) and I emphatically agree with Djohn about getting better jumpers and ditching the stock Spendor plates. I was quite surprised with the improvement after installing good jumpers on my speakers.

As to your cable question, my speakers are bi-wire capable, but I have yet to try bi-wiring in my system. In my current situation, I do not think that bi-wiring would be worth the expense.
The AU 24 jumpers are not cheap but do work well, and with their new style bananna's are easy to use, don't bother with bi, or tri wiring on this speaker.
