Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts

I know this problem.

The issue is actually that the nuts on the speaker AND/or the spades are too hard. If they were soft, they would deform just a touch and grip.

What you want to use are spring-loaded WBT terminals like these:

It is hard to tell, but there’s a spring molded onto the spade itself.

I would never put any kind of Loctite on binding posts. Even though the blue is considered removable, it requires a significant amount of force more than normal to break it loose. Too much risk of damaging the speakers. Plus it is going between conducting surfaces on the binding posts. The red Loctite has to be heated to remove a nut from a stud or bolt. Don't do it.

Is there a reason you don't terminate using locking banana plugs?
Have you heard of Blue Jeans cable 
ultrasonically-welded terminations include locking banana plugs

Seriously, I would just check from time to time and not apply any sealers or washers.

+1 for locking banana plugs. Furutech plugs suck, stick with WBT and others.

Also, avoid Rhodium, it is just too hard.
