|   Which is the best speaker connector,Bananas or What? | bryanpoirier
Jul 7, 2002 8:18 AM | | I would like to know which type of connector would be the best for my speaker cable. I can choose from Banana, spade, angled spade and flex tip.
Is there an article on the matter? |

Properly crimped spades.
Bare wires, either stranded or solid, just can not be tightened down enough, or stay tight. Stranded cuts before it's tight enough, solid comes loose over time.
