WBT Banana Connectors


I recently acquired some Canare 4s11G to make speaker cables. 10ft runs, for JBL L100s and a Marantz 2270. Has anyone used, or a fan of the the WBT Bananas? I am considering the copper version, silver a bit out of budget. Also would welcome hearing experiences on working with them making cables. Thank you!

I was thinking to trim a strand or two away from the copper and just go bare into the Marantz. (is that a crazy idea?) I was lucky and found a 2270 with no mods and clean, I’m going to leave it original for sure. Great ideas about strain relief on the cables. @dabel – what cables and speakers are you enjoying with your 2270?

@mbolek - yes it is! 😄

Appreciate all of the info above! Lots to think about + excited to get these speaker cables to work.

@jtg_ts

Remember, you also have pre-out as an external amplification option. Opens up the world for cables! Something to think about.

I’m not dodging your question, and will answer later when “the coast is clear”.

Past tense @jtg_ts 

Marantz 2270 > Outlaw Audio M200 blocks (stock) > Polk Audio LSi9 (modded)
