harmony08 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi. The binding post works fine, just missing one cap on one speaker. How did this happen? I bought them this way several years ago. Electrical tape is not a solution. Any suggestions on where I can get a cap for a Chorus 2 speaker. Has anyone got a cap they want to sell?

avguytx Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Don't banana plugs work without having to have the cap? I could see where you'd need the cap for spade lugs for sure. I don't know how the posts are attached to the crossover circuit board, or if they are, but what about changing out the connectors on both sets? I've changed them out on Pioneer HPM-100's a few times and those aren't a simple swap but it was doable in little time and have changed them out on many, many other speakers with the spring terminals. I was thinking that the Chorus II's terminals connected straight to the crossover but they might just be on the terminal cup and then go over to a mounted crossover. I've never owned, or worked on, a pair of Chorus of any iteration so I can't speak from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finallygotmyheresies Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I was missing one on my chorus II terminal cup and used one off of a kg4 crossover I get from eBay for $5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You can just replace the whole set for a few bucks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-4-PIECES-Speaker-Amplifier-Terminal-Binding-Post-Dual-2-way-Banana-Plug-Jack/190999347959?epid=0&hash=item2c7872c2f7:g:lfgAAOSwPb9aj58B:rk:7:pf:0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get them if you don't need them. Do you frequently have to move your speakers and unhook your speakers? If so, they may be a convenience for you. If not, bare wire connection is best.
