Hello,
First, Do what FatDaddy said.
Second, you can have speaker cable re-terminated. Usually the amplifier end has either two spades or two bananas because usually amp speaker posts are running parallel or are the same unless they have an AB button. I still prefer to use just one set since it is technically one channel of amplification. On the speaker end it is Ok to have them split for the two sets of terminals. There is an issue of you are only using half the gauge of wire for each sets of termination. This is usually ok for the top end on speakers but ends up starving the bass woofer or bottom end. Spades really make the best connection but some bananas like Straightwire and Nordost make a lot of contact and are tight on their choice of bananas. If you are having them redone the do it this way but have all of the wire go as two and two and or two two four but have one set on the speaker side be banana and the other spades so you have more ways to connect regardless of the speaker since you can put the spades and the banana on at the same time. I prefer a single set to single set and get a jumper to go from the low binding posts to the high binding posts. This way you have maximum gauge going to the woofers and the jumpers go to the tweeters.
Third, you can get adapters that convert bananas to spade or spade to banana. Monster and Cardas both make them. I say have someone who solders redo them for you in the way I said above. My choice of jumpers are the Nordost but they are $175 for a set but have used them on speakers all the way past $20,000. Get ones with spades on one end and banana on the other end for complete versatility as I said above. Sorry so long but gauge matters. If it didn’t we would all use telephone wire.
