Have them fitted using the WBT style crimp on copper sleeves. Makes it super easy to swap them out for just about any WBT connector, and several Furutech (which I don't recommend).
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?

I have a pair of Quatros and had to switch to the smaller 7/16" spades on my MIT cables and even then they are still a very tight fit in the barrier strips. Vandersteen specifies spades no wider that 7/16". As to your Galileo speaker cables, any banana to spade adapter would likely degrade their performance but would do in a pinch. Here is one option for your consideration... https://www.amazon.com/Hi-end-Adapter-Speaker-Connector-Wy-yp01/dp/B00X9FET7I |
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. |
