Speakons anyone


Do any of you use Speakon connections for your speaker cables. Or has anyone added these to speakers that did not come with them. I think Speakons are really cool, but they are hardly used. I only know of one or two high end products that have added them. It looks like a superior way to connect speaker cables, as the traditional 5 way binding posts are like something from the model T era. I don't understand why these have not cought on more (other than Nuetiks patent fees (from what i have heard)).

I would like too add them to the back of an amp and my speakers. Is it hard to do?

Seems to me nothing can beat just hard-wiring each amp to its assigned driver in a multi-amp system. I can see the argument for fewer wires and the convenience of connecting and disconnecting with a snap in plug, but a home system like mine is a set and forget arrangement. It might be years before I make any changes. And when I do, I probably would not be using the same connections or cables in the future as they were created specifically for just this system and will not work on my replacements.
