Hey there,
Currently, I have a set of 2 Linn Kabers as well as a Linn centre speaker, soon to be matched with a second set of Kabers for rear surround. However, all are tri-wired by design (excluding the centre speaker, which is bi-wired, with a third pair for active bass).
For a variety of reasons (complexity of having to tri-wire, ability to easily shorten my cable runs as single-wire, cost of the extra cable, potentially limited benefit to bi/tri wiring, etc) I've decided to single wire these. I think they did originally come with jumper plates, but they have all gone missing over the years.
So, the question remains, what's the best way to go about this? They all have banana plug connectors.
Option A: Buy the tool, unscrew the posts, put some speaker wire to jump them together where the plate would've been.
Option B: Buy the tool, unscrew the posts, custom make metal jumper plates similar to the original plates.
Option C: Strip off a long bit of the speaker cable, plug banana plugs into all the sockets, and route this cable through all of them.
Option D: Something else?
Option C is an interesting option that I hadn't considered that I saw someone suggest - I'm currently most leaning towards that because it seems both easiest and quickest, but I'd be open to the other options, as well as to others' thoughts as to which is preferable.
