How do i use my vintage floor standing speakers?
http://www.oaktreeent.com/web_photos/Stereo_Speakers/Yamaha_NS-A3500A_Stereo_Speakers_collage.jpg
thats what it looks like. all it has on the back is the red and black thing shown in the pic. It does not look like a port to me, and i dont know how to use it.
the red and black thing is not like a regular port. it does not fit in flushly at all.
The red and black connections are for speaker wire, and there will be corresponding red and black connectors on the back of the amplifier/receiver. Speaker wire, whatever the colour, has one plain coloured wire and one with a black stripe. This is how you use the connectors.
Bare the ends of both wires, take off about 8-10mm of the plastic cover and twist the bare end of each wire so you don't get any strands of wire sticking out. Take the plain coloured wire and hold down the little red tab on the back of the speaker. Push the bare end of the plain coloured wire into the little hole just above the tab. Let go of the tab. It will spring back up and hold the bare part of the wire tightly. Make sure that there are no strands of bare wire hanging out. Now do the same with the wire which has the black stripe. Put that into the black connector on the speaker.
Now connect the other ends of the wires to the amplifier in exactly the same way - plain colour to red, striped wire to black.
By the way, that's a very fine pair of speakers you have there, even by today's standards.
