The jury is still out on this one Ruud.

In the manual the tannoy people say something *very*
similar to what our pal shp is saying.
It's only similar if you have not a clue about how
electricity works.
Shp claimed that some manufacturers have a third (fifth)
post to do this earthing thing, and so yes, the tannoys
do have it. Hence the similarity.
No way is any commercial speaker manufacturer shorting the positive
terminals of all drivers in all speakers together and connecting them to the
amplifier's chassis.
There's an immense difference between chassis grounding
and grounding the hot terminal.
How do you know *what* the tannoy people ground?
Since Tannoy's speakers work normally, anybody who understands much about
audio knows that they are not shorting the positive terminals of all drivers
in all speakers together and connecting them to the amplifier's chassis.
How is it obvious from the URLs I provided?
Common sense.
This is not a
confrontational question, it is just a question, if you,
or anyone else cares to answer it.
The answer should be obvious.
I did ask, to be sure, about the original "tweak"
suggestion of shp (the 3rd one of course) to a friend who
actualy builds some sweet sweet sounding amps in these
parts of the woods, has his own private workshop / lab
kind of a dungeon, etc, and he also confirmed that what
shp is suggesting is actually quite dangerous and would
cause a short in most cases.
SHP's tweak 3 will cause one or more serious problems in just about every
case.
The difference can be quanitifed as being the difference
between good wiring practice
Does this mean that you are endorsing the tannoy
"marketing hype" as others suggest it is? Again, just a
question, nothing confrontational.
Not at all. Connecting all of the driver chassis of a speaker system
together and making them available for grounding is a little excessive.
Unlike SHP's bizarre tweak, its not going to cause serious problems.
