Issues from using wrong spkr. termination


Sorry if this has been archived. But I recently obtained a pair of cables with spade terminations. However both my speaker and amp do not allow for such. In the meantime, I have placed one side of the spade into the clamp hole and tightened down. Obviously this is not the optimum, but is it worth the expense and hassle of finding new cables?

Many Thanks

Will your speaker/amplifier accept a banana jack?
If so, I think Monster makes an adaptor for banana to spades. Your solution will not hurt but as you said, it is not optimum becasue you don't have much surface area to makes contact. Also, this arrangement will loosen up over time.
