“I had some old speakers that are the best (Lineaum) but the didn't take banana plugs. I bought the spades so I could use my new cables. I was very impressed with the build quality, very solid and precise. They attached perfectly and sound great. The price was great too for gold plating over high quality copper. Top notch.”
“I have AudioQuest type 4 speaker cables. They had factory banana plugs on them. I wanted something that would allow connections from the side instead of straight in. These appear to be very sturdy and allow the speaker and amp terminals to tighten down securely. Much better then the original ends. They were also very easy to attach to the type 4 speaker cables.”
“These are just what I was looking for. I had speaker cables with banana plugs but my older speakers didn't take them. The spades are well made, very sturdy with precise set screws to hold the plugs. Very nice improvement to the sound.”
“Because of the opposing connection configurations of my amp and speakers I purchased both Pangea spades and bananas. The connectors look well-made and I was easily able to fit my favorite 12 gauge Mogami cables with no problems at all. In both designs the connectors make for secure and strong connections that are not easily dislodged and possess noticeable heft, which may speak to the quality of the metals used to make them. I can't say that I'm hearing musical passages and sounds I've never heard before but what I am hearing is more forceful and pronounced while maintaining very good clarity and detail. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase.”
