I just looked into those Olin Ross speakers http://www.olinross.com/ , and I'm sorry to say that do indeed look to be what is know on these boards as "White Van" speakers. These are mass-produced speakers marketed under various names, that often look a lot better than they are built, and worse, sound.

These sort of speakers were sometimes sold out of a "White Van" by less than trustworthy characters, many of who have now moved their operations to the internet.

That's what we are trying to tell you politely...it's too late on the a s s part. Don't spend much on cable...you'll know when you hook them up if they work.

MSRP: $ 3,100.00 ... I hope you didn't pay near that much Tim.

Don't spend a lot of cables. In fact, go to Home Depot and buy some 16 awg cable.

If you must get something other than 16-18g rip cord, just look up Bluejeans cables.

haha nah I payed like 150. at least they look nice I guess. Thank you for the information regarding the type of wiring I should use though thats what I was looking for because I don't think anyone would buy them on Ebay or anything.

for 150, they might sound ok.
I have heard worse.
Tim, you might not be so bad off as it seems here, wire them up and have a go.
