If you have not spent much time with those horrible little binding posts yet, be prepared to- what a pain! Eldartford was exactly right with what works best with them. Magnepan(along with many other companies) do make adapters for spades to be used, I ordered a pair of the "gold" adapters for my 3.6's they seemed ok, but still a pretty poor attempt at using spades. I was planning on putting good quality binding posts on the back of them- but with the 3.6 that would have been very expensive! I ended up rewiring the speaker internally and having leads come out of the speaker which then go to a completely isolated external crossover- the leads have spades on the end of them. That made the most sense to me- now I have fewer splices in the signal, the leads are all soldered directly to the drivers.
I still have that pair of magnepan "gold spade adapters if your interested email me, I have no further use for them :)
