Stainless Steel Binding posts on speakers?


Anybody have any thoughts about using this material for binding posts? With regard to conductivity/sound quality and the like?

I really don't know about steel but I kinda wish they would use more copper. The arguement is that copper oxidizes and then makes for an ugly and nonconductive surface. My personal experience with stripped copper wire is that this process is barely noticable if it occurs at all. The commonly seen brass posts are in fact an alloy of zinc and copper but I understand it is not a great conductor.
