What is this speaker cable connection?

Hello, 

I was given these speaker cable and told these were really expensive. But when look at the connection, it doesn't make any sense to me. I have used banana plugs before. But I have no idea how to connect these with my amplifier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes but the most badly designed worst engineered spades I have ever seen. I mean that picture, its like a car wreck. You don't want to look, but you do, and then you just can't stop. What a mess. We should have a contest, who can spot the most flaws in this most flawed design?


I agree with you about the ludicrous spade.   It is way too long and straight and I doubt it would fit any of the gear I own.    My speaker posts are recessed and I would have to put my amp on a 6 inch riser to give it clearance.

Even if It did fit I wouldn't use them.  With the long torque arm  you run a big risk of shorting if a cable gets bumped.
