Re: monitor speakers AND power amp

[M Mercer <vletrmx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok, sidestepping the original thread to pursue my own personal agenda: i 
just got a pair of 20/20 passive event monitors. first, i will advise 
everyone against doing this because it's been a constant hassle to get all 
the necessary information and additional gear required to power them. just 
spend the extra cash and get powered monitors.

ok, that bit of negative energy out of the way... i also just got an Alesis 
RA300 power amp. i also have 2 20/20 passive monitors. i am really lost on 
how to wire the amp to the monitors. how do i connect speaker cable? do i go 
to the hardware store and buy stranded cable? i just bought speaker cable at 
the local music store and it's only sold with 1/4" plugs on the end, and in 
a last resort i snipped off a plug to try to just remove some insulation to 
use it with the binding posts. this was probably a clueless thing to do but 
alesis hasn't responded to any of my inquiries, and i thought i might as 
well try it. i've never worked with this sort of stuff before and i'm lost.

any audiophiles who know what i'm talking about, PLEASE drop me a line at 
mmercer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx put an end to my struggle of trying to get 
these monitors working. i've had them for 3 weeks now and i don't even know 
how they sound!!!

thanks

matt
