Looked online for a speaker and they're all just red wire on speaker to red on amp, black wire on speaker to black on amp. But when I turn my amp round and have a good look, it's red and black phono's on the way out...
Not just a barewire connect.
Heaulp!

Seriously tho, if you are a bit handy with soldering or you know someone who is, it's not too difficult to melt a speaker wire to an RCA plug.

Ok, gottit, what do you want to connect? a pair of speakers of one of those fancy surround stuff/sub bass box?
Normal speakers are to be connected to Main Speaker A or B, and they accept a normal speaker wire, not RCA. just twist the end pf the speaker cable till you get a nice and erect piece of copper, put into the screw and tighten.

Main A+B are filled with my glorious, vintage Goodmans (that's right 4 of em), the sub has an huge phono, it's these pesky centre speaker dudes that are dicking me off! The rear set are just wire to wire and I'm getting them set up next week but I still have 2 sets of speakers I dunno what to do with...

A man can never have too many speakers.

I have a Yamaha DSP-A590 amp. Had it years. I originally got it for the TV but I now I just it for the stereo. You can run many appliances through it. Bloody wonderful

NO! it's an epic amp, you need to dig into its presets, you have no idea what a change they can make to your listening pleasuremillion voices wrote:Bloody wonderful

Don't overthink the thing, Blasty-kins.
Top Tip: buy a set of RCA cables with plugs on both ends, and cut the plugs off one end, peel back the plastic sheath to expose the wire, and Bob's yer wotsit.

And make sure the connection is fine, or you'l have a nice drone/noise record whenever you put on Type O (oh wait...)EvilBastard wrote:Don't overthink the thing, Blasty-kins.

The presets are amazing
I have a bootleg of Wrathchild at the Sea Cadet Hall Cambridge - you press "Concert Hall" and it sounds as if they are playing Madison Square Gardens
Gorecki's 3rd Symphony is probably THE saddest piece of music you will ever hear. Everytime I play it I cry. It is too sad to have at your own funeral - press the "disco" effect and you just want to get up and dance.
I am probably overegging it but you get the idea.

I just read this & there is a standard cable connection option for the centre (see page 9). You can even rig 2 centres should you have the speakers.
The RCA connectors would only be line level & would plug into another amp (if you had an active centre channel).

But now I see, JAMES... you have the option for either a wire centre speaker connection OR an RCA speaker connection... The wire connection is right next to the Rear Speakers connection...
The RCA connection for Center Speaker is next to THAT...
