I would not think it matters as long as the connector plates(straps) are there !!

The top and the bottom inputs are usually connected with removeable jumpers. It doesn't matter which one you use. Most people use the bottom inputs because they are closer to the floor and they can hide the wires better.

You need to tell that to my wife so that she understands that she is married to god.

I have my Totem's connected in a diagonal pattern as per their suggestion:

Quote from Totem's FAQ on website:

6. Bi or Single Wiring

Bi-Wiring Advantages
Bi-wiring obviously has a greater energetic flow and allows less saturation to occur to either the tweeter or woofer. Information to the speaker is basically an electron flow through the wire.

If the terminals for both the tweeter and woofer have the advantage of each having a particular signal going to them (without different medium/material interference via jumper) then that signal has less interference. The signal also has a greater wire surface area to go through and the result is a greater dynamic headroom, clarity and imaging capability.

Single-Wiring Advantages
There are some cases where a high quality single wire allows for a better tonal balance for a particular need.

Single Wiring is definitely a very good way to proceed as long as the four terminals are there. The user has the choice of connecting just the lower two terminals and through this obtain a certain "tone". Reconnecting the wire to the upper two terminals gives the user more high frequency emphasis. Connecting the red positive at the bottom and the black at the top (diagonally opposite) or vice versa will give you two more "tone" options.

In conclusion the customer/dealer has four possibilities with a high quality single wire. We recommend the diagonal connection when using the single wire to create a greater balance.

I'll keep this suggestion in mind when I eventually upgrade my speakers.
