Spade to banana adapters

Contact Matt Rotunda at www.pitchperfectaudio.com and he can get you some low mass banana to spade adaptors that will do just what you want.

While you don't want to do it...the "bare wire hole" is actually for the banana plugs. Thank the European Union bureaucrats for that.

Kgturner, Those look serious. I will keep them in mind.

Sugarbrie, Yea, tell me about it. I just had three other amps modified including removing the Eurotrash binding posts that would not hold a spade. No matter how much I tightened them if I bumped a wire it acted like a lever and loosened the connection. A couple of times the spade popped completely out. Talk about "safety". That was with smaller spades. Large ones would not even fit. They are one of the reasons I went bananas--literally.
