Some of our floor-standing speakers are shipped with gold-plated bridges connecting the two sets of binding posts (left and right).
Only remove these bridges if you plan to bi-wire or bi-amp your speakers. These allow you to connect your speakers using one set of speaker wires with the signal reaching both the high and low-end drivers.
If you plan to bi-wire or bi-amp your speakers, you will need to remove these pins.
For more information on bi-wiring or bi-amping speakers, please see the following article: What is bi-wiring or bi-amping?
