If the layout of the binding posts on the amp gives you room to bring the two cable to the terminal at something like a 45-90 degree angle to each other you should be able to stack the spades on top of each other and still get good pressure from the binding post. If the posts are too close together or too close to other protruding parts it might not be possible to get the spades to lie perfectly flat on each other.
concerned with using two sets of spades at amp
I have an H20 amp that allows for traditional bi-wiring. I'm in the process of switching out my speaker cable from a Kimber 8TC/4TC shotgun configuration to two single runs of AZ cable. Hologram on bottom, Satori on top. I just picked up the Holograms with spades. I haven't bought the Satori's yet. My concern is with having both sets of cables with spades on the amp end. I'm worried about the chance of the two cables / connectors touching each other, which according to my amp manual is a big no, no. I'd like to hear from others that have had to deal with this issue on what you learned and ended up with. I'd prefer to stick w/spades if possible/safe as I've never had good luck with getting a tight banana connection.
Thanks
