Amazon Basics Speaker Connector Banana Plugs - 6 pairs

the design, fit and fnisinsh of these banana clips is perfect. starting from ease of attaching it to your wires to the fit while plugging them into the speaker and AVR terminals which is neither too snug, nor too loose. However, having attached them to both ends of my speaker wires and on playing music and movies through them, there is a very perceivable drop in sound quality. the sensitivity of the speaker has reduced which is in itself evident of transmission loss. this also has an adverse affect on the frequency range and response of the speakers while reproducing sound which now sounds muffled compared to when the speakers were connected through bare wires. I'm planning to get rid off them as the level of dip in sound quality is not worth the otherwise terrific ease of convenience that these banana plugs offer. for reference, i am running a pair of KEF Q350's for the front channels (on Sound Foundations Nemesis stands), a Q-Acoustics Concept Centre Channel and a pair of Bostons Acoustics A26's driven through a Marantz SR6013 AVR and a Marantz PM6006(as a power amp for the KEF Q350s), so the system is transparent enough to easily convey any shortfall in whichever component is introduced into the setup. Update 2020 : decided to reinstall them after all. The convenience over having to screw in bare wires clinched it. I just switched to better wires (Mogami Neglex and QED QX16) so the shortcoming may have been in the amazonbasics wire (or my head; i may very well have been imagining loss os sensitivity) - i think a pink noise test with a spectrometer with the volume knob at a constant position is in order to confirm my suspicions.

捻じれが気になり難いし。 ケーブルの締め込みにドライバーも必要ないなんて･･･。 使い易いが過ぎるっっ！

When I rewired my speakers, I used these. They work well, but they are rather loose. However they do not touch one another. So no problem there. They are super easy to use, change, etc. Recommended!

Ottimo prodotto buona produzione ,facile da installare ,peccato per il colore rosso del positivo che sembra troppo scuro e risulta difficile da distinguere dal nero del negativo, per il resto tutto ok, prezzo affare!

Saw these recommended on an AV forum, and when HiFi geeks recommend something, they're usually not wrong. You get plenty in the box, and they are surprisingly heavy and well constructed. Quite easy to connect to 2.5mm2 cable, although you might struggle with wider cables like 4mm2 as the entry is quite small. Once connected up they plug into the usual speaker or amp connection solidly and securely. I like that they have a reasonably clear red and black colour band that can be seen from above, to identify positive and negative cables easily. I could say that they deliver a clear, precise, and tight sound to the speaker but, at best, that is just my own ears telling me well done for my purchase. Obviously, there are much more expensive banana plugs out there, made of gold plated unicorn horn, and if that floats your boat, go for it. But these are great value, well made connectors that just get on with the job and don't get in the way of the signal pathway. Recommended.
