Building Speaker Cables

I have decided to build my own cables. For the cable I’ve chosen DH Labs T-14 cable for the cable connectors on the speaker side will be Furutech FP-201 (G) spade connectors, amp side will be Furutech FP-200b (G) banana plug connectors. Would it be overkill to silver solder all the terminals before sealing the connections with marine grade shrink tubing?

And here all this time, I thought all speaker connections were silver soldered.

It depends if one is a Clamp Termination School or a  Solder Termination School.

I'm a do not use Banana Connector School, wire is connected to Chassis Mount and Speaker Terminal. 

That is the most cost effective and most unadulterated method.

My thought process is that the T-14 cable is silver coated copper and the silver would be  prone to tarnishing otherwise I would directly wire into the Amp 10.
