biwire terminations

With 2 separate runs of speaker cables, is it advisable to terminate one cable with spades and the other with bananas at the amp? As opposed to connecting (pancake) 2 spade connectors at each terminal? Obviously, the terminations at the speaker would would be all spades or all bananas....

Spades act like electrical dams. Bananas provide the least damming effect. When biwiring, it is preferable to go one set bananas the other spade- or better still sans spade

Many of the Tara Labs speaker cables have interchangable bananna and spades that screw into the cable termination. So you can have it both ways.
