How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp


I need help from all of you Coda owners out there please. 

I just purchased a Code 16 amp. and the speaker terminals on the back are a little unusual. I can't connect the spade ends of my cables to the terminals, they just don't fit. I have Kimber Select speaker cables. They have the larger style spades. When I look down at the terminal I can see that the spade will go down over the gold plated post, but there is a clear plastic sleeve built around the terminal that will not let the spade slide down in around the post. I guess I could buy spade to banana adapters but that seems a little chintzy. I called Coda and left a message but have not heard back yet. They are usually very good. Is there a secret that I don't know about?

Those sound like nice connectors.  My Pass has Furotech.  Spades easily went in from the bottom.  I changed mine due to weight of speaker cables.  Right angled or 45 degree angles.  I really like the Rhodium coated 45 degree.  You can tighten down a know which expands the banana.  You will not be able to pull them out once tightened.  They are Chines tho.  $6 each.  I have Pine Tree Audio speaker cables, so I just sent them back and they installed them.
