spade lugs won't fit


Hi
Any one familiar with the (Mcintosh 7100) amp, it has screws on that back...I just bought new speaker cables and the (spade ) lugs are too thick to fit under the screws....other than file job...any suggestions.  I can take a pic if needed !!
thanks to all !!!

If the spade ends are built/pressed into the cable, you'll either need to butcher the cable or send it back. I use the adapters listed earlier with banana plug speaker cable ends. Has been working well for several years now.
