Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers?

Used spades for a short while and figured that it's just a waste of money to have speaker wire terminated.
I might implement adding speakon connectors and plugs once I feel that I'll need to plug and unplug speakers often. That's the only valuable plug-connector to have between amp and speakers.

Buconero, that's a great idea. In fact, I'm going to tin the ends of my cables with WBT 4% silver solder right now.
Thanks for that tid bit.

I use bare wire on both the amp and speaker ends. I noticed a small improvement in SQ when I removed the spades.

I could be crazy.

As long as you're using quality termination(no brass), the difference shouldn't be substantial.

My speaker terminals are brass my speaker wire is kimber four tc silver nude. Anyone eliminated the terminals and gone directly to the driver?
