Switching speaker cables between two different amps (signal chains)

I regularly move my speaker cables between two different amps; vinyl and multi-media.  Using cable ends are banana; but is there a better termination to do this?  Concerned about wear of the connectors on my amps and the firmness of the connection.  Any better suggestions?

WBT spring loaded spades. You'll find they lock on with less pressure. :)
