no idea bro coz my sa xt terminated both sides with airloc. maybe someone else who has sa xt with normal banana can help u. i almost get myself unterminated sa xt also but i read somewhere in avs forum not recommending doing so.

Podrunner,

Are you saying you are using the same front speakers for HT & music listening and connecting to AVR & Stereo Amp respectively? Do u do cable swapping like for eg, if you want to watch movie, just plug the AVR speakers, and if listen to music unplug it and connect the stereo amp speaker cable?? Basically 2 sets of speakers cables.

If you have an extra stereo RCA cables, you can use the pre-outs from the AVR to you stereo amp. This way only one pair of speaker cables needed, from the stereo amp all the way, no need swapping. But of course, you have to turn both the AVR and amp on, everytime you listen to music or watch movies.

You can sell the extra cables if you decide to do so. Post them at hifi4sale.net, I'm sure a lot of buyers come asking. I sold my SA XT there, so many people asked for it.
