Screw on banana/spade connectors

Miller, I don't know if you are trying to be a jerk but that's how you're coming off. Who said anything about looks? I don't care how it looks. I had never seen that termination before and was wondering if a direct tight quality connection to spades was a good or bad idea. I was suspicious so I asked. Lighten up. 

OP:

I’ve used that method several times. The screw/sleeve/wire combination has been rock solid and never given me a concern, with either Furutech or WBT.

The Furutech issues I had were all at the speaker side.

Thanks Erik. My speaker terminals don't accept bananas so I was trying to find a solution that was a solid connection. These cables are not available w spades.

WBT makes excellent connectors and I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

Then highly recommend the WBT spring loaded bananas. Give a great grip even when the speaker terminal is too hard.
