Answer 1

Hi.You need speaker cable from the amp. to the speaker terminals on the speaker.(unless you have suitable wire already)Just remember to connect the the same wire terminal color on the back of the amp. to the same color terminal on the speaker (red to red and black to black or + to + and - to -.The speaker terminals are either ones you press down to insert the wire through a small hole or ones that unscrew to reveal a hole to put the wire through If the wire is too thick you can attach a small Y shaped lug to the bare wire and use that to inset between the back of the terminal and the screw and tighten or simply expose a bit of wire to twist around the shaft and tighten with the colored screw.
I hope that makes some sense to you.
Cheers.

If your KLH are really old you would have Red & Black by the terminals. They might say Ground(Black) and 8ohm(Red). If so do as the last gentleman said strip enough wire so you can wrap it around the terminal and tighten it down.

Helpful hint: If you wrap the wire from Left to Right when you tighten it down the wire wont try to slip out. So hold the wire to the left of the connector and wrap it over it to the right.

On the back of the receiver/amplifier you should see black and red connections. Dependinig on the make and model of it you will either have connectors that you push on and they open a whole for the wire then you release. Or you have what is called 5-way binding post. You will know because you have to loosen a plastic nut to access a whole on the shaft to insert the wire. Once you have it loose insert the wire and tighten it back up.

It is very important that you put the wires on the same side as the other gentleman said. If your wires are not color coded look at them and make a system wide decision. If there is writing on the wire or a line or if one wire is Red copper colored and the other silver decided which is + or - and stick with it.

Watching tv is easier but I love reading catalogs more

Answer 5

while reading a book, you're stimulating your brain. You make your literacy and reading skills and you along the way, become more literate. Even with today's modern tools, you should be able to read still.
While you're watching t.v. can be good fun, it is not doing anything to the human brain.
