Speaker Cable Connector Accepting 2 Pairs of Cable

Whatever options you discover, consider future flexibility.

I used to compare tube mono blocks to a tube receiver to a big SS amp.

To easily connect/reconnect 3 different sets of color coded speaker cables I made myself a 'pigtail', 6 lf length hard connection at the speaker, and female banana plug on the end that was easy to reach. Hook on the wall for alternate color coded wires so I didn't have to bend down each change.

WBT tightening banana connectors made it both easy and tight connections after quick change.

I just don’t think you will notice any improvement.

They make Banana adapters so that you can piggy back them.

@fiesta75 +1! 

And the purpose of adding another pair of cables?

In the post it was mentioned the addition of supertweeters,

Sorry my bad. The best ones I found are the Furutech FP- 202. The newer WBT’s won’t allow stacking

Here are stackable banana connecters (for reference).

Thanks for all of your responses. From what I can see none provide what I am after which is a proper surface connection for a simultaneous connection of a speaker cable terminated with a spade and a speaker cable terminated with a banana plug, or two speaker cables terminated with banana plugs, on the one banana plug. The suggestions all appear to be for a bare wire connection typically using 2 screws. I already have terminated speaker cables, not bare wire ones, which I wish to use. I do not propose to use the 2 screws to clamp down on the banana plug and in any event there is nothing offered for the second terminated speaker cable.

I have two old pairs of Monster Cable banana plugs circa 1990 where the black marked ones do not have a dialed back which rotates down and expends the banana plug once inserted in the speaker's binding post, but a female banana socket allowing for a good connection with a male banana plug, and on both the black & red banana plugs there is a middle section which unscrews and will accept a spade for a tight connection. I am guessing that this female banana socket just on the black marked plugs was for an earth connection. I wish I had bought 4 pairs so I could now make up the 2 pairs I need.

I am after something like these old Monster Cable banana plugs or a banana plug equivalent of the WBT or Furutech binding post which accepts both a spade & banana plug.

As to comments made on super-tweeters offering no improvement, which was not the subject of my question but which I gave as background as to how I wanted to use the banana plug, I have considerable experience with using 2 pairs of ENIGMAcoustics Sopraninos ie 2 right Sopranino units on top of my right TAD 2404 speaker & 2 left on top of the left TAD, and they make a considerable difference easily noticeable. Quite a number of instruments produce harmonics way above 20 KHz and we perceive them. There are studies showing this eg see James Boyke, "There's Life Above 20 Kilohertz! A Survey of Musical Instruments Spectra to 102.4 KHz" and how we perceive sound. If you don't accept this, fine. We are all entitled to our own judgements. I will stick to the ones based on what I can clearly perceive. I am now wanting to add a super-tweeter on top of each Rey Audio KM1V speaker in my secondary system.

What about these (seems that they might accept 2 spades)?

Townshend Super Tweeters come with cables that have the piggy back connection.

Thanks @dekay ! This suggestion works! 

For the little that it is worth, a point of clarification. I looked further into the circa 1990 Monster Cable banana "binding post" type plugs that I have which accept terminated speaker cable and are themselves terminated with a banana plug to insert in the back a speaker's female banana binding post. I have 2 types. The small and compact one that I initially described which turns out to be a pair and has a female input at the end which accepts a banana plug and unscrews in the middle to accept a spade. As I first noted I now only have one pair so I cannot use them. Then I have several pairs of a larger one which was designed to accept a spade like the one DeKay referred me to and are more robust and will easily accept 2 spades. Thanks DeKay for giving me the idea!

@slaw thank you for the suggestion of the Townshend Super Tweeter but I will either use Sopraninos or the very reasonably priced TakeT Batpro MkII which a friend referred me to and which have the benefit of being a dipole. I am yet to listen to the TakeT.

My thanks to all for taking the time and trouble to help.

@dekay again, thanks. I fully agree on cleaning. Any time I pull out a connector I clean it and its receptacle with isopropyl alcohol. I also do have and use Caig cleaners. These old Monster Cable connectors will certainly require a very good clean.

Yes, I still have the Pioneer TAD 2004 speakers. I was very lucky to get them from the then Hong Kong TAD agent as NOS (they then had 2 pairs which they said were the last 2 pairs made) back sometime in the last half of the 2000’s. They are the oldest component I have. I have gone through a lot of gear but have yet to be tempted with any commercial offering. One of the owners of the agent, who to my mind is the best electric guitarist in Hong Kong (unfortunately he does not perform anymore), loved TAD pro monitors from his studio days & went for the agency to sell the pro monitors through his hi-fi outlet and thanks to him I was introduced to the pro TADs (very different to the commercial hi-fi TAD line that followed). Recently I had a speaker designer over to listen. While he knew of TAD professional monitors and drivers he told me that he did not appreciate the drivers’ very high quality until he had spent time with my 2404 speakers and remarked that this quality was missing from many current commercial offerings regardless of price.
