Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60


So I have this ARC Classic 60 with the screw down speaker cable connectors at the back of the amp.  The screws are flanked by fins that prevent standard spades, and of course bananas are not an option.

What is the preferred connection here?

Surely there's some Vandersteen technology that's transferrable to this case.
So over the years I’ve used the banana connector adapters recommended by inhifiman and kalili on the following amplifiers with great success: McIntosh MC30, Audio Research D-40, D-70, D-115B, Classic 30 and Classic 60. The speaker wires used were either factory terminated Audioquest or Kimber Kable. Zero issues in terms of poor connection, banana connector falling out, shorts, oxidation, end of the world, etc.

 

As already suggested as well, do not try and bend or modify the barrier strips. They can/do break easily.


So I ended up just crimping on hoops and soldering.  Nothing fancy or gold plated, but they are nice and secure.
(((A ring lug on a screw-type terminal forms a gas-tight seal when tightened and is forever. )) Agree with above Vandersteen technology eyelets work great
Longer chassis screws and collets can work and are easily reversible.Have you ever done the experiment or comparison with big metal connectors or too many adapters plumed together? It sucks and sounds worse than simple collet extensions and longer screws that escape the height of plastic fins.also sticking the banana into a threaded hole sucks as well becomes a diode mess.
