Speaker Posts

My problem is the posts on various amps. Right now I happen to be the owner of 2 amps that are spade installation nightmares.( I actually have 6 amps.-- More is less? right?) #1: The dreaded CJ "binding strip" affair. (early premiere series) You use a flat blade screwdriver to tighten ; I don't think there is a spade made that you can get in the opening they give you.---Without bending the spade. / Next up, Eagle2. You have to bend the spade and have the finger size of an 8 year old;to get the job done.--- Well, that's all I have to say about that. / everybody glad?---(If that's all I have to say.)

I feel your pain...
Been there, done that...
More times than I care to remember!
However, my Accuphase amp gives me huge binding posts with lots of thread to work with, but I still had to install replacement binding posts on my speakers to get the connection I wanted.

I have had the same problem. I've been thinking of using a spade to banana adaptor. However I sure hate having to pass the signal through it. For now I'm bending the spades but I have headed for the tool box to get my cutters more than once. Just can't bring myself to nipping a factory spade. I sure will be happy when they come out with industry standards.

I'am with cornfedboy on this one. What type of speakers and cables are you using? I have the Wilson cubs II, and am using Analysis Plus Silver Oval W/spades and they fit perfectly. I have also tried Harmonic Technology W/spades and they also fit perfect.

I have had the opposite problem. Getting the spades around the posts on my amplifier of choice.
