Yes - my 2002 Unos came with internal wiring and jumpers in silver (an optional extra at the time) but I still changed the rather poor jumper links. I bought Cabledyne Reference Silver speaker cables and links of the same. They are now on my 2006 Duos following the sale of my earlier Unos.
I'm considering a change (with my Duo XDs) to Duelund cables and I'm about to post asking for opinions on this forum. Watch for replies! Peter
My current jumpers are banana to spades
Can you advise what is the length of the spade to spade jumpers? I am looking to terminate a pair with my current speaker cables, the Albedo monolith
The early Unos (with separate mid and top horn tubes) were supplied with bare wire for the links and you threaded these through the holes in the stems of the binding posts. I replaced my single strand silver links with cable the same as my main speaker cables - the logical solution - with bananas at one end and spades at the other. If you have the speakers, it's easy to measure the lengths required. Since I changed the 3 upright support poles with a rear mounted bracket (that required the tubes to be rotated 90 degrees) I need longer links and can hide them totally from view by routing them behind the new frame.
Incidentally remember that if using bare wire through binding post stems, it's difficult to fit spades as well to the same post, but easy to add bananas. Spades plus bananas also OK but 2 bananas very tricky!
Hi, has anyone experiment with connecting the subwoofer of the UNO XD with XLR cable to the pre out of the preamp? Is it a good alternative over jumper cables?
It has always been Avantgarde's view that the subs sound best wired to the speaker output rather than the XLR or phono line level one.
I've tried with the older Duos (2006) and frankly I thought the sound was much the same. My amp offers sub and main cut off frequencies, so I set the AG's sub to maximum and used the amp's crossover to see which cut-off sounded best. It's certainly worth experimenting with the sub's polarity, although the latest model doesn't allow this - you can put the mid out of phase but not the sub unless you change the internal wiring. Older Unos and Duos (with separate mid and top tubes) are easy to switch polarity. I hope that makes sense. Peter

This 6W beast from Dennis Had is truly outstanding on all fronts with the UNO XD's.
Given that that the UNO XD is 18 ohms, I am connecting Them using the 16 ohm tap of my 300b SE power amp
Can anyone share their experience when using 4 or 8 ohms taps of their power amps to drive the UNO XD?
Last year I had Uno Fino XD's (identical horns with Uno). Also used was an Allnic 300b with 16Ω taps and as expected, it had no problem driving the speaker with plenty of reserves. The last amp tried was the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL10 OTL and the match up was sublime. I purchased two ZOT10s thinking of bridging them for more juice and just one was plenty.
