It depends if one is a Clamp Termination School or a Solder Termination School.
I'm a do not use Banana Connector School, wire is connected to Chassis Mount and Speaker Terminal.
That is the most cost effective and most unadulterated method.
Building Speaker Cables
I have decided to build my own cables. For the cable I’ve chosen DH Labs T-14 cable for the cable connectors on the speaker side will be Furutech FP-201 (G) spade connectors, amp side will be Furutech FP-200b (G) banana plug connectors. Would it be overkill to silver solder all the terminals before sealing the connections with marine grade shrink tubing?

In Conjunction with direct to Xover Termination, bypassing Ferrous Metal Tabs on the Drive unit and connecting to the Wire that is usually braided attached to the Coil is made known in different camp's to be the most beneficial. I have seen the Bypass done on multi thousand $ Drivers. In all things Audio Electronics and Signal Path, reducing obstruction to the Signal can in some systems be breath taking, where as in others be noticed for a difference having. Ben created.

There are Two Threads on this and a Link to a Web Site that originated the following of the build design. This is a Scratch Built Cable, one chooses their bare wire and gauge, insulator, termination, there are many descriptions of what was detected as an End Sound, when a particular permutation for materials are used in a unique system. As in all cables, systems are not ubiquitous, hence not all discoveries made and reported on will produce identical results. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/diy-helix-geometry-cabling |
