Please help folks, I've been a bit of a silly boy !
During living room redecoration, I took the opportunity to channel the rear speaker cables into the wall.
Trouble is I now can't tell whether the protruding wire ends are "black" or "red" and so don't know which way around to attach to the speaker terminals.
I put my amp in "5 channel stereo mode" and listened with the wires round both ways but couldn't hear any appreciable difference - should I have done ?
I thought I understood that it does matter which way round speakers are wired. Is this right ? and if so can anyone please tell me how to tell the ends apart / spot the sound difference ?
(short of ripping the cables out of my lovingly plastered wall !
Thanks,
Simon.
