not my complete headphone set but here's couple i rewired for speaker outputs.

i rewired my 240 sextetts like couple weeks ago with a 4-pin male neutrik XLR connector with silver contacts and made a female 4-pin XLR to 18awg silver/copper speaker wire plug.

yesterday i rewired my 240DF's completely with 18awg silver/copper speaker wire i had and using 24k gold dayton banana plugs at the end. the speaker box is not finish but i did it the ghetto way real quick to see if everything works. i bought 24k gold 5-way binding posts as well and everything functions perfectly. just need to put the cover over it and done.

lol. that's not even mine. i took it from a friend at the time cause i used it for cutting circular speaker cloths for making protectors for my sextetts. i had nothing around my house so only idea i had was use a cd and cut around it with my exacto knife.

18 awg wiring is actually pretty thin.you know,the camera adds about 10lbs or so on . nothing compared to the 14 AWG silver/copper wire i use for my speakers which are like twice as thick. my 240 sextetts and 240DF's respond very well out of speaker outputs. they do like the extra power running out my 1985 Yamaha R-9 receiver in class A .

i could use headphone jacks as well if i ever plan on making a balanced 1/4'' TRS cable for them but since i keep them home i have no need to really since i rather use my amps speaker outputs around my house instead.

I've been trying to hunt down a vintage pair of 240 sextettes since getting the Pioneer Monitor 10's. Hadn't thought of modding them.

The wall on the left looks like a musical mosaic. Are those all CDs?
