Too terminate or not

Final addition to my Harbeth p3esr and Croft Integrated amplifier combo is the speaker cable. Unfortunately I need a 30 foot long run. I’ve narrowed down my choice of cable to Mogami 3103. 

I can purchase the cable in bulk from Performance Audio at $2.86/ft(need 60 ft total). I suck at terminating cables and I can purchase Vampire HDS spades separately - where can I send for professional termination with gas tight crimp and maybe treating the cable with Cryo while there? Take Five Audio sells 30ft in pair Cryo treated and terminated with Vampire spades for $450.

@millercarbon 😀
that was a typo.
How do you think I can connect bare 12AWG wire behind my Croft?

Thanks all - so far the consensus is over no termination and using bare wires. I don’t see a problem with connecting my Harbeth this way but the issue comes when connecting the Croft amp. There is not much room in the back and connector are tiny hole - impossible twisting a 12AWG wire around it. 
@joey54 thanks for the Dueland speaker recommendation. Great reviews. I’ll look into it more.

@joey54 Duelund has an incredible following and reputation. Where can I purchase one? Not that many places that sell. How would you compare this with Mogami 3103?

@darrell21256 - not really sure what your issue is. It's definitely very deep, maybe childhood inflicted. Not sure what 'conversation last week' you talking about. If it's 'A WASTE OF MY TIME' why do you bother writing. Please don't troll my discussion forum with rude comments. This world has enough individuals like you - that's why we are suffering. Thanks,
