Thanks for your replies. I have no tools or equipment. I started out trying these (see pic), but I couldn't maneuver the tiny screws and the wire. So I went with the bigger plugs. (I'm all thumbs.)

Sorry for the delay, but I've been away. Apparently everything is working. But I don't like the way these banana plugs look. (see photo) The only way I could keep the wire from slipping out of the hole was to "scrunch" the other end and make it a tight fit. But as you can see, with a couple of them, I wasn't able to screw them in completely. Everything works this way, but I'm a little leery of these connections. Thanks for any reply.

I'm going to solve part of that with banana plugs going into the amp. Not sure how to avoid bare wires with this type of speaker. (I am clearly not an audiophile.)

I know it's it not the speakers. They both work. I took the amp back and it worked. So I must have a bad connection somewhere. So I'm gonna try all new RCA plugs and banana plugs and see if that does the trick.

Hope I uploaded those images correctly.

OK. So I switched the speaker wires and still get sound only out of the left. If I listen through my CD player on the preamp, I hear both. I took photos but don't see where to attach them on this site. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for your answers. I just had the amp serviced and the speaker binding posts replaced. The man said he tested it and it was working fine. I'll take photos later today and post. Thanks again!

I have a TFM 24 and a Carver pre-amp. For some reason, I'm getting no sound out of my left (Infinity RS400) speaker. But both channels play through my headphones. If I were to go with a bookshelf speaker, can you recommend what might sound good with my Carver system? Dumb question: Will the TFM amp only accept left/right left/right speaker wire inputs or is possible to connect to more modern speakers using rca plugs or something similar? Thanks in advance for your help!
