Is there something wrong with this Momentum Stereo amp?

[turntable]

Have a look at the back panel of the Momentum Stereo amp and tell me if anything is wrong?

[joeinid]

Are the + and - terminals reversed?

Does it match the photo in the user manual if there is one?

[turntable]

Maybe, Something more obvious to me Joe.

I assumme the + and - signs are correct as in mono reverse? There is no red and black colours on the back of each speaker terminal for normal easy + and - idendification. I have not seen the manual, I lugged in the back of my car for a loaner for a week or so. I will get the dealer to fax over the manual on Monday to double check.

The mono amps do not have have red and black identification on them either. I noticed that when I was connecting my speakers cables.

Correct.

If I wired them up per the back panel the speaker cables and ic from the right speaker/right channel would have to cross over to the left side,
The left speaker cables and ic would have to cross over the right cables.

not a bad screw up for a 25k amplifier.

Can anyone give me a logical reason why they would do this if it is not a complete labeling mistake and lack of quality control. I am happy to be wrong.

I saw that. Seems like the guy labelling it was setting up his first hi fi

The MCD-1100 connections are on the opposite sides from what I would consider normal too. I posted that some time back.

Yep, you see that from time to time on amps and preamps. My Shindo Cortese is the same way. No big deal, just wire it up the way you want, it's easy enough to remember they are reversed.

I Agree not the end of the world--but my Shindo is RR LL--so maybe they

rethought it.

Correct to point it out -on a $25K item

Hmmm
