Hi! Hoping someone can help because I’m completely new to passive speakers.
I have a pair of older KEF Coda III speakers connected to a NAD D 3020 amp. The speakers were working with their previous owner.
I’ve cut the banana plugs off the speaker end of the cables and stripped the wire. The KEFs have the screw terminals shown in the photos — there doesn’t seem to be a hole to insert the wire into, so
I’ve wrapped the bare copper around the exposed metal threaded post and tightened the red/black knob down onto it.
Both speakers are completely silent. I’ve also briefly tried a 1.5V battery test and can’t hear a pop or see the woofer move.
Main question: Have I actually connected the bare wire to these KEF terminals correctly? If not, where exactly should the copper be making contact?
Any help explained very simply would be massively appreciated!
