Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers?



For the last 3 years, I have been using bare wires on both the speakers and amp ends.

It was a ''temporary'' measure, but I ended up being satisfied with the sound since. What do you think of going ''bare'' ?

My speaker terminals are brass my speaker wire is kimber four tc silver nude. Anyone eliminated the terminals and gone directly to the driver?
One of the local salons ,who shall remain nameless, told me that it was less then prudent to not use solid silver spades on my silver kimber. The reason being to avoid the oxidation of the silver wire. He started to write a quote at $45 each for twelve spades. Upon my questioning the guy's math he stated 'with a system of my caliber it would foolish not to atleast bywire'. Up until then he had never asked what kind of kit I owned. When I told him there was only one driver in the cabinet he looked kinda puzzled as there is at least two speakers in all cabinets. I told him that I needed three feet of wire, and the guy immediately doubled my measure and exclamed that I needed at least eight feet to sound good. I told him. . .No! Three feet total and started laughing to bust a gut. You know he threw me out of the store.
