With my speakers, I prefer this to any other way of connecting and even to bi-wiring.


Dave, I've tried this and the opposite (+ to HF first, - to LF first). I prefer your suggestion, thank you.

Hey Guys, Thanks for the feedback.

I finally have now sat down and done some testing.... WOW, what a difference it made to just adjust which terminal the speaker cable is connected to.

I have connected mine with the positive cable connected to the HF terminal, spatia links arrows towards the LF posts and then the negative (black) speaker cable coming out of the LF post to the Amp.

The sound is now MUCH clearer and there seems to be the feeling of 'space' around instruments and voices sound like they are in a space... not too sure how to describe it? The best thing I heard was a trumpet which was in behind the Little River Band, and I could hear the musician playing, not just the trumpet sounding.

I am supper chuffed now. My speaker cables are A1, my Accession is A1 and burned in beautifully, the RP6/Dynavector 10x5 can sing, and my NAD Hybrid AMP seems to be playing really nicely with the rest of the team!

Great work on the gear Graham, John, Leo and the rest of the team there in the UK. Also a shout out to the Aussie loaner program for giving me the chance to listen to nearly all of the gear prior to purchase.

My cable supplier also recommended switching the cables so one is to each connection (high/low), never tried as mine are separate positive and negative cables but common thinking.

I would like to point out I had nothing to do with the 'development' of the Spatia links. I was unable to believe that such a short length of wire could make one jot of difference. But around 6 years ago John and Leo reported to work and swapped out my short pieces of tri-rated wire. I was stunned, and they just stood there and laughed at me for doubting it. Embarrassed

The arrows on Spatia cables point from amp to speaker. If it helps I found running the cables to the HF teminals on the speaker and then jumpering from those to the LF terminals sounded best, arrow on links from LF to HF.
