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.

Can you dispense with the adaptor and tightly screw part of your spades (i.e. 1/2) onto the the B&W posts? I think that'll be better than adding another connection to the conductor chain... Had a similar case with bearlabs (cardas spades) and jm lab speakers. Ended up wedging the bearlabs spades into the larger diametre WBT posts on the JMs -- and screwing tightly.

A compromise, nevertheless...
