Terminating speaker wire?


Any tips on terminatig speaker wire? I have DH Labs T-14 and I'm going to put locking banana plugs on. Is it basically a straightforward process?

Thanks.

Speaking to a friend that designs/builds speakers he says bare wire is it. Strip back the insulation twist it and use it, and they use JenaLab wiring which ain't exactly cheap.
After 6 mo. cut an half inch off and do it again.

Yes, it's very straight forward. The silver coating is going to take a lot more than a soldier iron to remove so that's should not be a concern.
This wire is silver-coated oxygen-free copper conductor. I would be cautious about preserving the silver coating from unwanted damage during your termination process. Were you thinking about soldering the plugs on? or rather using a screw clamp? Where would you make the transition from silver surface to copper or brass? Sorry to ask so many questions without answering yours.
