I don’t mean to be dense here, but I don’t see anything close to 1/2" or 7/16" on any of my speakers or amps that the binding post wrench will fit over to tighten. I am only bringing it up because I love the idea and agree with n80.
Mini-Rant: Human Fingers
I don't have a huge range of experience in this matter but in my limited experience the experience is universal:
My fingers are too large to comfortably use most speaker binding posts easily. It is always tight and tedious. Yes, my hands are big but not unusually so. No, I'm not a clumsy oaf. Quite experienced doing small delicate work in fact. This experience has bridged hi-fi to mid-fi to low-fi.
I can understand this with small or bookshelf sized speakers. But my experience is with tower speakers. I just wonder if there is a reason for this?
My experience is similar with components. Even my amp which is a huge 100 pound deal with virtually nothing on the back but two balanced inputs and 4 binding posts. The binding positive and negative posts are very close together and hard to tighten for that reason.
Anyway, rant over. Just wondering if there is a reason for not putting enough space between binding posts to get human fingers all the way around them?
