Modification of speaker cables


I have a set of MIT's 750 biwire speaker cables. They are terminated with spades. I have just purchased a new amp that has binding posts that are larger than the spades will fit. Will there be any negatives to removing the spades and going with the bare wire? (other than resale value)

When soldering, make sure U remove previous solder (or cut off) and your connection is shining (= not "cold" soldering). As Jeffloistarca, created the connection without the solder and secure it by soldering. Bare wire WILL oxydize but, as Onhwy61 notes, you'd eliminate an extra material from that conductor chain (not to mention the soldering, i.e. TWO materials?) so, better.
Good luck!
