So, it seems two spades of different sizes would work well because of the difference in diameter of the amp and speaker posts. I guess they do have wrenches specifically for stereo connections, right? Any opinion on whether I could or should use different size pin connectors in the holes? I really don't care for bare wire so I'm going to go with spades or pins. Thanks a lot.
Dumb questions?
I have an Oddysey amp and Nestorovic speakers. The speakers have a 5-way binding post and the amp doesn't. I want to use the holes drilled into the post of both to connect new speaker cables. The hole in the amp post is about twice as large as the hole on the speaker post. I think about an 1/8" diameter for the speaker, close to 1/4" hole for the amp.(I'm not home right now) First, do I have to use a pin connector or can you put banana plugs in these holes? The hole for the speakers are too small to put bare wire through. Right now I'm using spades but I have to put one fork of the spade through the hole in the amp post because the diameter is too big to fit the whole spade around. Second, would the dealer I buy new cables from put these connectors on the cable for me as I don't know how? 3rd, any opinion on what type of connector gives the best signal transfer? (I find it difficult to tighten down spades enough) Thanks.
