It end up with spade to banana adapter.
NAD and Spade Terminals
I have a NAD 316BEE. Version 2, if that makes a difference. I have speaker cables with spade terminals. I just can’t figure out how to wire it together. It should be easy but I just can’t hook it up. If someone who knows this amp and could help me out I’d be forever in your debt

That Nad should have no problem with spades. Loosen the binding post and fit the spade in and then tighten. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=nad+316bee&docid=607991323429438148&mid=C973070B48FEB69... |
that’s a very versatile unit. From it’s manual, it takes bare wires; spades; or pins. Pins are smaller than banana plugs, if that is what they really are. file:///C:/Users/ellio/Desktop/NAD%20C316BEE.pdf "SPEAKERS: Always use heavy duty (16 gauge; 1.5mm, or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your C 316BEE. The high-current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or pin sockets or for cables with bare wire ends. • The C 316BEE is designed to produce optimum sound quality when connected to speakers with impedances within its operating range. Please make sure that all the speakers are rated 4 ohms minimum per speaker." ............................... Meaning: your speaker’s impedance can be higher than 4, that the curve should not dip below 4 ohms as it varies thru the frequency range. Many ’nominally’ 4 ohm speakers dip below 4, that’s why they include that caution. |
