i just picked up a pair of M3ti's and will be running them off of a panny xr25 thru my 1212m (dorm room bumpage). I'm pretty sure i'll use an ebay glass optical from source to amp, but i don't really know anything about speaker cable. the jacks on the back of these things look a litte bit weird - they're screw down clamp type things. should i use spades? bananas? i know absolutely nothing about speaker wire connectors. thanks!

All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

everything about these headphones is flawless. Everything is balanced, and perfect. Any of the reviews that didn't like them most likely have a fake pair, or, hate life. The only thing I could...

You can use whatever you like, spade, banana or bare wire. Banana would be easiest, just plug it in (just make sure you have the connector screw down all the way first).

Get a piece of Rat Shack megacable to begin with, and a couple of bananas, later on you can upgrade the cable if you feel the need of......don't get crazy with that, I have tried a few of them, and still have a Carol Command silver plated, sound better to my ears of all what I had tried, and cost pennies a foot....just keep it as short as possible....

I agree with these guys, save some money and just get some wire from radioshack. I'm a big fan of the Axiom speakers. I own the m2 and the m22, wish I could think of a reason to buy another set of speaker because I'd really like to hear a pair of the m3's.
