Kelly McAloney Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I orderd new wire and banana plugs, do I also need spades, not sure what they are, just want to make sure I got every thing I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You don't need spades AND banana plugs. They do the same thing essentially. I like to use spades when it is practical. They make for a better connection. However, some receivers and amplifers won't accept spades. Shakey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted October 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2014 No dumb questions here. Love banana plugs. As often as I swap speakers around, it really makes it easy to A/B between speakers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 btw, I use spades at the Cornwall end and banana plugs at the amp end. So while the answer can be "either/or" it can also be "both". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey I may beg to differ with you on this one Shakey my man, With the bananas I have on my signal speaker cables there is more surface area within the barrel as opposed to what would touch on a half horseshoe spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
