I’m looking for really good speaker terminals

Progg70 · 21st June 2007, 04:43 PM

I’m looking for really good speaker terminals to use with my power amp.
Can someone tell me where I can buy speaker terminals in EU or even better in Sweden?
I have seen the Svalander Audio terminals but I would like to see some more.

Thanks

Is Neutrik SpeaKon an alternative? In case try ELFA

They don't score highly on the glitter-o-meter, but they are solid and reliable; Contact material is silver over copper, compared with gold over brass for most of the traditional binding posts; though they do require re-termination of your speaker cables.

Hi,

maybe You like to take a look at Ruhstrat.
Their Binding posts series 001, 003 and 004 and the Binding posts with flat clamp series 063 and 064 look very well :-)

Thanks but Elfa don’t have the quality I’m looking for, then Svalander is much better…

I think you cannot find anything better than WBT. There are several e-shops in Germany for WBT stuff .... I am using them and I am happy with them ... They costed about 15 euro per item. There are though much better and much more expencive WBT terminals. It depends on your budget.

One alternative for WBT would be the Mundorf MConnect series of terminals, they come in a pure copper version, either unplated, gold, or rhodium plated. Their price should be in the same ballpark as the WBT terminals: http://www.mundorf.com/deutsch/index.htm.

My vote goes to Neutrik Speakons, for what it's worth.

No lump of brass in the way of the signal, silver plated copper contacts, integrated strain relief, locking connection, no exposed contacts so no chance of accidental shorts....

Please don't follow the standard audiophool approach of buying the chunkiest brass spades and posts available! (unless you enjoy spending lots of money to destroy your sound quality!)
