Monster X-terminators vs. Audioquest banana plugs?

I just bought a pair of Cardas Quadlink 5-c speaker cables and the spade lugs are slightly too small for the bindng posts of my Cardas Omega Super 3R (ironically, they use Cardas binding posts).

I used to own Monster x-terminators many years ago and know that they really create a very solid connection.

I don't remember how they sound and am wondering if I should buy two pairs of Monster X-terminators or 4 Audioquest 1002-g banana plug to spade adapters.
