Hi,
Based on an idea from Jon Risch (very debated) about a more direct connection between speaker cable and amplifier's output wire, I propose, after much hesitation, this modded speaker binding post, in which center shaft is drilled until the actual connecting surface is reached, to allow the passage of the output wire, which can form a knot or be soldered on a loop. Direct contact with the (bare) speaker wire is possible then.
I would have preferred an "all hard plastic" binding post but there are none, to my knowledge. I use a cheap and big binding post from partsconnexion.com (CONNEX- 62002) that makes a tight grip but I dislike the idea of a big amount of brass (or copper) attached to the speaker cable...
The same is much easier to accomplish at the speaker's end, and it has been already discussed.
The diagram shows a conventional and a modded metal binding post. I think it is self-explanatory...
What do you think?

You have done well eliminating one connection.
Using the patented Ultra transparent binding post you can eliminate two. If you use two of these on each channel in your system you eliminate four connections and it doubles as an anti theft device.
It has excellent vibration absorbing qualities as well.

I will produce some solid brass speaker wires and I hope you will buy some
I'm sorry if we offended you, it wasn't anyones intention
But this subject has been beaten to death in so many other threads, and the final conclusion is allways that either you hardwire the whole shebang, or buy some respectable quality plated binding posts, and keep an eye on the connection.
