Can I use the BFA style plugs on Vandersteens?

Keith is correct -- the Vandy speakers have a barrier strip type of connection, which have screws that require spades.

Hifidreams,

BFA (British Federation of Audio) plugs are not the same as banana's.

They are almost completely opposite of a banana plug. They receive something like a banana, but slightlty smaller, which is inside a protected covering within the amp or component. They were designed, if you can beleive this, to stop people from connecting banana plugs into British power outlets!!!

Please don't put your speaker wire into any power outlets folks!!

Older style Vandersteen 1B and 2C, 2CE series used strictly banana plugs. I don't know about the 3 series.

Kennyt All the BFA style connectors I have work fine in banana plug slots. They are like a hollow banana. I use them in my parents Linn Classic. Maybe we are talking about soundthing different.

Just as a point of clarification the Model 1 and 2 (through Ce, but not Signature) use banana jacks rather than the barieir strips of the Model 3.
