If you don't use bananas, Cardas Patented Binding Posts would be your best bet: http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=oem&content_id=10&pagestring=Patented+Binding+Posts
Hi Peter, nice to see you're still around
Thanks for the hint for the Cardas! Where can I get them from? Partsconnexion?
By the way, in the meantime I figured out that there are some more alternatives on the market...just look into loudspeaker DIY-shops. Intertechnik also has some nice looking parts.
Have fun, Hannes

I'm not a big fan of the Cardas... if you need exotic the Eichmann are good... for good quality at a moderate price these ones from Parts Conexxion are our preferred ones

You'll have to navigate from here (the pcx site is really badly written)

But do they come in audiophile grade gold pressed latinum?

Too much metal in those. I have a growing collection of those that i've stripped out to replace with better, but less expensive plastic nut ones.

I use Cardas copper binding posts with good results.

do they sing or just play an instrument?MJL21193 said:....They "sound" pretty good.

'ang on Andrew, I 'as to pull me tongue outta me cheek.
That's better. I'm not one of those that believes there is magic in a connector. It needs to be able to conduct the current adequately and not oxidize into a poor connection.
These fit the bill.

I take my breaks where I can get them Dave. They are an excellent deal. I like some of the ones available from Digikey:

Are nice. Cheap too - $3 each.
These are very good and cheap
Best @ Apex
One trick is to not solder to the post, but rather, run the wire out through holes next to the posts and use the posts as a compression terminal to clamp the speaker cable to the output leads. Bypass the post nearly entirely, for simplest path.

I gots lots of those -- cost = $0.00
Both the $1 and $2/pr sets from Steve are better thou, and much cheaper.
