Spade termination on speaker

I just purchased a new speaker cable (well over due). The old cables had banana that fitted into the speaker banana termination. The new cables are Coincident and have big spades at the end. I need to upgrade the termination on my speaker to put these spades in. Any one knows of a good termination to buy to put on my speaker? Where do I buy it from?

Try WBT or Cardas. These seem to be about the most popular products for terminations. Cardas is www.cardas.com. WBT is www.wbtusa.com. You can also try Parts Connection and Parts Express. They both have web sites, just do a search. There is a fellow that has an ad in Stereophile, Mike Percy, www.bainbridge.net/percyaudio. Ther are some others. Good Luck, Doug

You can also get a spade to banana adapter. I believe audioquest makes them. That way you can leave the factory silver job solder in tact. I probably have some lying around the house. Email me if you can't locate any.

Thanks a bunch for the reponses.
No I know two sources for a set of spades to mount on the speakers. However, I am curious about the banana - spade connector.
Is a spade to banana connector advisable? I am assuming it will introduce a new connection and cable or is the spade and banana one piece and no cable connection.
Thanks
