1 Speaker Outputs
Twopairsofhighqualityfive-way binding posts are provided on each
channel of the integrated amplifier, in order to facilitate bi-wiring.
In practice, bi-wiring involves connecting two (preferably identical) sets
of speaker cables between each amplifier channel and its corresponding
loudspeaker. In many cases, the benefit is a subjectively improved level of
clarity and detail from the speaker, as a result of being able to feed the two
separate sections of its crossover and driver complement with identical, yet
separate signals.
(Many high quality loudspeakers also offer two sets of connections on their
speakers.Generally,onesetoftheconnectionsontheloudspeakerfeeds

crossover that supplies the rest of the speaker with the midrange and high
frequencies.)
Although the binding posts on your Classé amplifier will accept bare wire
connections, we strongly recommend the use of high quality spade or hook
lugs, crimped and soldered onto the ends of your speaker wires. Using
high quality connectors will ensure that your speaker connections do not
gradually deteriorate from fraying and oxidizing bare wires. It also helps
prevent accidental short-circuits from poorly-terminated connections.
2 Single-ended (RCA) main outputs
Single-ended cables using RCA connectors are the most common form
of analog connection used in consumer electronics. When implemented
carefully and used with high quality interconnect cables, this standard can
provide excellent performance.
