Analysis Plus also has Speak-On connector with your choice of cable in various gauges. Barrel spade connector fits MC275.

Signal Cable I believe is 10 gauge with Speak-on connector.

Good to know. Thanks.

Dave the T5 and B2 are similar in the connection scheme. Forget that mentioned positive and negative leads in my last post.

Neutrik Speakon High level Interconnect black wire will be grounded to the preamp.

lapierre

Dave appreciate the insight.

Mcintosh 275s will be in mono with REL B2 positive lead connected to left amp and negative lead to the right amp.

Just finished installing the crown modling this weekend. Painting should start sometime this week.
