Would XLO put on the correct size spades for you? If it seems to be too much hassle, perhaps this is a good time to upgrade your cable. My Harmonic Tech Pro-9 plus bi-wire with the large spade ends fit my B&W 805's, and are a good match.
Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers
I'm in need of some help folks:
When I bought my B&W N802s I found the cable connections to be the European Standard: simply, my XLO spades did not fit. XLO was very kind, very cooperative in rushing free of charge an adaptor to convert my spades into bananas. This works well. However, they sort-of flop around inside the banana port: guys you know what I mean here...
Seriously, I need a more-tight connection, and have not been able to find any manufacturer's item to do this.
