Can B&W Nautilus accept spades? Or Bananas only?

I was at the B&W dealer in town and they insisted that the Nautilus cannot be ordered with spade posts (my 602 S2 has spade posts). They say that only banana plugs can be used on the Nautilus and that I should reterminate my Transparent Super XLs to banana plugs if I want to get a set of Nautilus.

That sounds kind of weird. Can I order the Nautilus with spade posts, or will I have to reterminate my cables?

Thanks all!

Mike,

Your dealer is just wrong. All Nautilus speakers accept spades, as well as bananas or bare wire. I've used all three on my N803's.

In fact, the jumpers B&W includes for non-biwire setups actually come with spades on one end! You can see a diagram in the owner's manual, which is available on B&W's site at the address below. Buy 'em and enjoy!
