Audience gauge18 hook up wire. Just ask AA for the price. Required length of cable per speaker enclosure is 4ft BLACK & 4ft RED.

mcbry,

if you noticed the improvement of using audience wire as jumper, what else if you use it as internal wire! ;)

sir, i noticed an improvement on the highs of b4 when using audience wire as jumper... actually i got this suggestion from chad of arch audio... the result is great.  :)

Mcbry,

Naging smoother ba ang highs and more laidback?  Lately, I've been tinkering with the jumpers of my speakers' binding posts.  I've already tried monster xp and 14ga flatcord as jumpers.  With the xp, highs are less detailed and mids a little more upfront, bass too soft for my taste.  Reminds me of my old nobelle speaker cable.  Sa flatcord, mas open ang highs - mas airy din. Bass of course was abundant but not boomy.  Problem lang is pag high volume medyo nagiging masakit sa tenga ang highs.  So ngayon balik din ako sa stock jumpers.  Strong bass and laid back but smoother highs.  BTW, I don't own MA speakers.  Mods, sorry for the OT.

hi!

if you're going to use the audience jumber, 1 foot each of black and red will suffice...at Php75.00/foot x 2= Php 150.00...very economical tweak with guaranteed improvements...thanks!

sir obey, naging smoother ang highs at mas lalong gumanda pakingan using the audience jumper wire... hindi ko na notice if naging more laidback yung tunog ya... you may try to audition the b4 at arch audio... i'm sure chad, nico or epoy can help you compare the sound using stock or audience jumper.

enjoy,
 :)

guys,

just curious bout your MA speaker connections. from the amp, do you plug into the -LF and +LF speaker jacks (2nd and 4th jacks from the left) and from there connect jumpers to -HF and +HF respectively?

i used to connect from amp to the center jacks which is the -LF and the +HF and from there connect jumpers to the outer jacks, the +HF and -LF and now ive just tested the new wiring setup i mentioned.

and the results? the mids and highs became clearer and the bass tighter! the muddiness was gone. even my wife was surprised. she thought i bought new speaker cables but actually i just did some rewiring. ive just been experimenting on the jumper wires from LF to HF; from CAT 5 cables, to gauge 12 speaker cables, to generic extension wires and i noticed that you can change the way the highs and the mids sound by changing the jumper wires. thinner wires made the highs a bit easier for the ears. the MAs metal dome tweeter can be a bit bright sometimes and ive just found a way to control them.

maybe theoretically this shouldnt add up but when even the wife can hear the difference, then im sure am not imagining the improvement.  ;D ;D ;D she never notices these things but this one she really did. will try other wires to use as jumper. maybe you guys can try it out yourselves.

by the way, i use gauge 12 acoustic research speaker cables from the amp to the +LF and -LF of the speaker. bought them from electronics depot last year.

Wow what happened to this thread? This used to be one of the most active thread in the section! I guess most people have upgraded to other speakers already.   ;D

When I first had the B4's, I intended to use it for HT but now I find myself using it mostly for music. Sounds really good on a Luxman LV-101 stereo integrated amp and even on the sony Ta-555esxII.   

Has anyone tried bi-amping their B4's. I know its just a B4 and not a heavy-weight (literally and figuratively) like the B&W Nautilus 800s or speakers by Revel. But I'm curious has anyone tried this before and is there any discernable improvements?
