KabelDirekt – Banana Plugs – 5 Pairs (for Speaker Wire, AWG 10-16, Allow Flexible Connection to Speakers, amplifiers, A/V receivers, Power amplifiers & Stereo Systems, Fixing Screws, Gold Plated)

Therese work really well, strong hold and snug fit. They may seem like they don't fit at first but they do.

I have these for over a year and a half now and have no complaints at all. They came packaged well and are pretty easy to assemble. I used mine with 12 gauge wire and these have plenty of room to go bigger if desired. So far, no discoloration. They seem to hold up pretty well but it is not like I plug and unplug them frequently. I'm pretty happy with my purchase of the KabelDirekt – Banana Plugs – 10 Pairs (for Speaker Wire, AWG 10-16, Allow Flexible Connection to Speakers, amplifiers, A/V receivers, Power amplifiers & Stereo Systems, Fixing Screws, Gold Plated). The only thing I would wish for to make this a better buy for me is a lower price.

Seem to be well made and solid. How ever some of the set screw holes are nor machined very well Hard to tighten down or back out. Also had to squeeze the prongs with pliers to get them to insert into my Polk speakers and Denon receiver. Would have been 5 star except for these two problems.

The banana plugs are good quality and easy to use. I paired the banana plugs with KnuKonceptz Kord 10AWG speaker wire. This plug does not fit this 10awg speaker wire with the jacket deep inside the plug. I had to fit the wire in with only a tiny bit of jacket inside the plug. Still a very clean install, but I had to strip an inch and a quarter to fit. Not the banana plugs fault, the speaker wire I chose is very high quality pure oxygen free copper with a nice thick jacket. At this price there is other options with different kinds of installation styles. The other banana plug that supports 10awg speaker wire is Sewell deadbolt. If you have 12awg speaker wire monoprice banana plugs will work. From my research monoprice closed type fits 12awg max. I'm not sure about the monoprice open screw type.

These are really solid plugs and the quality is what you'd expect/hope for. Easy to tighten your cable into them and it holds tight. I had to force the pins into my speakers and receiver a little harder than I expected, but no big deal. I just pinched them a tiny bit to get them in. I don't plan on pulling them out often, so I'm hoping they'll stay firm for years to come. I haven't used others, but I researched for a good while before choosing these. I'm not disappointed and would recommend them. I bought a second set for my stereo system upstairs. I've used many cables from KabelDirekt, and those have all been high quality too. Can't go wrong with them, in my opinion.

Fit larger gauge cables. I was able to fit 8ga wire in these, sealed them in heat shrink and plugged them directly into an amp and thusly into speaker terminals. Perfect for larger speaker wire gauge application.

Solid connection for the speaker wire. However, the plug is too big to fit in to any of my components, including speakers, amplifier and receiver.

These are excellent. They will accept 8-gauge wire, but just barely. I would buy these again.
