Problrm with spade and my amp......?

I have two questions.....My new ASL Hurricanes (still breaking in) have different speaker lugs in the back then my ARC VT 100. Right now I have one set of speakers connected to the post of the amp via the spades sitting around the post but spread out a bit. The other mono amp, I just have one side of the spade connected into the the hole of the post and not around the post. Will that make a difference or degrade the sound???

My second question is....without doing anything on the Hurricane speaker post, does anyone sell larger, better, adjustable spade's for my speaker cables (Acoustic Zen) where I can easily fit the old ones into the newer ones the then into the amps????

Hi Sid.....too soon to tell on the Hurricanes. I have about 45-50 hours and I need to change the 6sn7's as recommended by the distributor. As I write this I am listening to Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto that I heard last night at the NY Philharmonic. I sat dead center (107-108) row z. As I listen now, I am at row q-r center (stage image is not a wide) some imaging problems but overall piano and weight of orchestra is outstanding!!! I hope to report to all soon (1-2 months??.

P.S. How are your V-5's???
