milwaukeebill Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I am considering getting a pair of Klipsch 5000f speakers but according to an owner of these who posted a review on Crutchfield he said they could not be connected with banana plugs as the binding posts do not provide for that.Or,could it be that the caps on the rear binding posts need to be simply peeled off to allow for banana plug connections?If so,is there room enough for average size banana plugs or is a smaller pair needed?Similar question for speaker cable thickness.

CECAA850 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The caps can normally be popped out of the center of the terminals but are usually pretty stubborn. EDIT, I just found a picture, they'll come out and accept banana plugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Looking at the info on speakers, the pictures clearly show you can take off the end caps to use banana plugs. https://www.klipsch.com/products/rp-5000f-floorstanding-speaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet the little caps just need to be popped out. Not 100% certain but pretty sure.

I never would have thought of that. That's the equivalent of checking to see if it has gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
