What say you binding posts or direct wire?

If I can get away with it I don't use BP. I find even the best like Mundorfs etc all sound inferior to direct wiring. Seems illogical to me to use costly cables hooked up to a binding post and then having just hook up wire after the posts. I get better-sounding results just by using quality speaker cable wired directly into my networks with the same cable type after to transducer.

Forgot about binding posts on amps, kinda defeats the purpose without eliminating those as well. Now you got me thinking, I just may have to try this.

I agree with your logic, but the same logic can be applied to every connector and wire within the speaker, and every component for that matter. Every connector and type of wire within components are subject to dissimilar metals and/or possible inferior quality. I'm a modder so very aware of all this, do upgrade wire and avoid connectors in most cases.

 

In the case of elimination of binding posts, not yet tried. Would require cutting into my best speaker cables, just not something I've been willing to try up to this point. Perhaps some may desire binding posts vs none, colorations imposed by bp may be pleasing in some cases.
