Do current model vandersteen speakers work with any spade speaker cables?

Hi,

I am considering vandersteen quattro speakers but have read that the speaker cable binding posts for the vandersteen can be rather fussy as to what cables fit.

I am using synergistic research Galileo speaker cables with banana plugs and wanted to see if anyone can share whether this is an issue with the quattro speakers [I will need banana to spade adapter anyone recommend particular one whose spade connector work well for vandersteen)

Kind of a pain to reterminate the speaker cables but that is option too what size spades if do that?

Vandersteen dealer can order you the solder on gold plated ring, standard on the factory cables that come with the M7 amplifiers and available as parts. Low mass gas tight !
I use them on my shotgun biwire Kimbers on the TREO and the above mentioned on my M7 reference system. IF you are DIY, there is a bit of a trick to heating the ring, just PM me.
