@elliottbnewcombjr - Nice one! Hadn't thought of that. I like the idea of preserving the cable. Guess I'll have to cover up the spades once done to prevent accidental shorting.
Looks to be the best solution.

Unusual(?) spade connection
Hi everyone,
I have seen some speaker cable spade connections on the amp side where one prong of the spade is inserted into the post hole rather than how it should be placed, where you would insert bare wire.
The old MIT2 biwire cable I have has spades that are too narrow for the posts on my Hegel and Ampzilla monoblocks. I have never had biwire fitted speakers until obtaining a pair of B&W Matrix 801 S2s and would like to "get the whole experience".
I can fit one prong of the MIT2 cable in each of the amp post holes. But I didn't tighten the post cap(?) in fear of bending or breaking anything.
It just seemed rather strange but if there are no reasons against doing this, I could save a lot of time and expense by not needing to purchase cables (or modify the MIT2s).
Is this a bad idea?
Thanks and stay safe everyone!
