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.

You can always wrap the bare wire around the amp post and tighten the nut.
 Terminating your speaker cables is not necessary and many audiophiles prefer bare wire as opposed to any termination, it's a personal choice. 
I realize I did not answer your question but I wanted to mention the use of bare wire.
