I've purchased a pair of B&W DM600 S3s and want to use 4mm Banana plugs. However, I'm a bit confused (it doesn't take a lot) the speaker sockets seem to have plastic plugs wedged in them. Should the plastic plugs be prised out to accept the plug? There's nothing in the instructions and the shops now shut and I'm keen to give them a go. Brendan

How do you use a flatcap 2 with a nait5 and a stageline? How does the signal get from the stageline to the nait 5 phono input. Is there an extra cable from the flatcap 2 to the nait 5 to carry the signal (for a grand total of three connections between...

My Naim system ( 2 Nap 135, Nac 52, CDX, XPS and Super Cap ) Has anyone got any experience with Naim and B&W Signature 805? I like deep bass, but can this "little" speaker do it or is it necessary with a subwoofer?

Is it possible to use a NAPSC with a Nait 5, and if yes then would it be useless when upgrading to FlatCap or Hi-Cap.Also, i can't find any information on the Nait 5 on the Naim site, i guess it is now discontinued but is still current.

Wondered whether any forum members have used the Classik in its ideal mode as a compact second room system, adn what thoughts were on the comparisons with similarly priced one-box solutions (e.g. Denon) and multi-box (e.g. NAD, old Naim) at the same...
