Default quite possibly the dummiest question ever!

feel free to make fun of me - i have broad shoulders.


i have the 2105 and 2505 amps and they are great -

are the speaker outputs my left/right when i am looking at the amps or are they reversed as if I am looking at the sitting area from behind the amps.??

looking at the amp from the sitting area - the outputs on the back are R L
I connect my left speaker to the output - so the speaker cables cross over each other - that doesn't seem right.

i primary listen to jazz and i want my soundstage to reflect the studio set-up .

thanks

gary

Gary.......Both amplifiers have their terminal strips labeled for left and right channels. Yes, your speaker wires will cross over each other on their way to the respective left and right speakers. It is not a big issue from my point of view.

Mono blocs sure simplify this issue.

Left/right relative to the listening position was the intent. But it's your system, so set it up the way that makes you a happy camper.
