It would be nice if speaker binding posts could withstand a minimum torque of 12N-m. Provided they are metal nuts- not plastic. That would help us users avoid damaging them by overtightening. I remember years ago spinning the binding post on a speaker by overtightening. That made me nervous so I removed the entire binding post assembly from the speaker housing and I found that the binding post had a locking nut on the back side. That was good and I was able to retighten that back side locking nut. The bad part of that design was that the two binding posts went through the backing plate close together and if spun too far, they would let the soldered wires on the back side short each other. Not a good situation to be in when you power up your SS amplifier. I replaced those terrible binding posts and got improved sound quality to boot.
