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?

I just looked up your amp.  Those appear to be the same as the binding posts I have so it may be worth a try. I have the standard size spades on Nordost cables (Purple Flare)

WBT terminals that Coda uses are some of the best!

The plastic covers do not come off. 

The binding posts on my S5.5 came with the opening facing up. So I called Coda and Doug walked me through the process of reversing them to face down. It took 3 tries to get them on the phone as they were pretty busy at the time. But, when you catch him he is super helpful. Just keep calling until you catch him.

I like the Furutech connectors on the XA-25...gotta get used to them but with proper size spades they're great.

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.
