Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers?

I just bought a Linn Classik and a new pair of Klipsch Energy CB-10's as a back up system. Using bare wire, which is the best connection. Just cut some new wire every few months and you'll be fine. I have bananas on the amp end. Happy listening.

I use bare wire at the amp and speaker.
I feel it's best to not have termination. Nothing is more pure than the wire that you are using with nothing to interfere. I don't take my cables on and off much so the convenience of termination is not an issue.
There was a sonic improvement when I went naked on the ends.

I am also "sans" connectors on both my amp and speaker ends.

One of the local salons ,who shall remain nameless, told me that it was less then prudent to not use solid silver spades on my silver kimber. The reason being to avoid the oxidation of the silver wire. He started to write a quote at $45 each for twelve spades. Upon my questioning the guy's math he stated 'with a system of my caliber it would foolish not to atleast bywire'. Up until then he had never asked what kind of kit I owned. When I told him there was only one driver in the cabinet he looked kinda puzzled as there is at least two speakers in all cabinets. I told him that I needed three feet of wire, and the guy immediately doubled my measure and exclamed that I needed at least eight feet to sound good. I told him. . .No! Three feet total and started laughing to bust a gut. You know he threw me out of the store.
