Monster makes a large variable size 24k gold spade, which they call a turbine spade. It is quite heavy and also has ridges to help hold the post connection tight. They are wide enough for B&W speakers. I use them with 803's. If you are handy with a crimping tool and solder, this may be your solution. I do not like bananas either.
Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers
I'm in need of some help folks:
When I bought my B&W N802s I found the cable connections to be the European Standard: simply, my XLO spades did not fit. XLO was very kind, very cooperative in rushing free of charge an adaptor to convert my spades into bananas. This works well. However, they sort-of flop around inside the banana port: guys you know what I mean here...
Seriously, I need a more-tight connection, and have not been able to find any manufacturer's item to do this.
