Do the cables have any connectors on the ends or are they bare wire?

What amp and speakers are you using?

Arcam CD192 - Cyrus 8vs2 - Monitor Audio RS6 speakers - Dacmagic - Squeezebox Duet - Spotify / Napster.
Denon AVR 1910 - Q Acoustics 1010i.

They should just push into the plug sockets

Make sure you take off the jumper bars between binding posts on each speaker. Then it's a case of left red and blacks to amp red and blacks. The amp should have two sets of binding posts for left and right, but you might need to switch them on with a speaker selector.

Has the missus told you that you can't have a new cable? Looks like it

Haha, she doesn't really care what I do. Just been told we can't have a water meter fitted to our cottage so there goes my cable fund...
