Total noob question but in my infinite wisdom (or should I say lack of ) decided to remove the bridges from the 4 binding posts on my M60s when I first got them. I figured since I wasn't bi-wiring it wouldn't make a difference. Shows how much I know...

All this time I've been running my M60s with one pair of speaker wire without the bridge. After a quick email to Brent, he stated you should leave the bridge in place or else it will hinder performance! I had no idea and now I'm itching to go home a put those bridges back on.

My question is how much of performance gain or loss is possible with and without the bridge? Didn't want to ask Axiom since they would never think of doing that, but curious if anyone made the same mistake I did. Or can anyone try removing the bridge and offer your opinions on how different the sound is?

Thanks
