Good quality

I'm a serious audio enthusiast with a problem: connecting bi-wired speakers plus an additional LFE connection (Rel sub) to my amplifier terminals. What does that mean in practice? Connecting 3 large gauge wires into standard screw mount terminals. A nightmare. Whilst a direct connection between speaker cables and terminal is by far the best option (as a purist), twirling three heavy gauge wires together, tightening terminals with a spanner, and using electrician's tape to ensure no stray wire strands would cause havoc was an absolute nightmare to deal with. Added to this, I lacked the necessary space at the back of my closed cabinet to fit standard (i.e. straight) banana plugs. So I spent hours (literally) searching for the best quality/value banana plugs or spade connectors that would fit in the limited space. I settled on these Nakamichi spades and Nakamichi 90 degree connectors. I was really dubious at first. Nakamichi has somewhat mixed reviews, depending on who manufacturers the connectors (Nakamichi is just a copyright brand with different producers). Tried to find out if the mat gold was indeed some sort or marketing trick, and whether resistance was indeed minimal. Long story short, I resorted to taking out my ohm meter and measured resistance from inside my amp to the speaker, both with, and without connectors. Resistance was more or less identical, within the limitations of my voltmeter. Given my skepticism, as soon as I plugged these in, I thought these altered the sound every so slightly, but couldn't pin exactly what, even after completing A/B tests. I settled on the fact that I was being skeptical, and that using spades and 90 degree connectors was a far safer bet than pliers and electrical tape. Now that I've been using these for a good month, I can confirm that all my reference tracks sound just as good and I'm delighted to finally have a good solution to my issues. The only thing to be aware of: the spades are LARGE with a 9mm gap; wish they made these in 4mm versions as they would fit standard amplifier terminals with more contact surface (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). Also, the external shielding is insulated; confirmed this with my ohmmeter. So no problem if two of these spade/90 degree connectors touch each other.

Good quality connectors with twin grub screws to hold the cable securely. Simple but effective.

Great bit of kit good value sound quality is exellent, fit is super easy ,easy to use ,look the business , great quality

Good price for the quality. Easy to use and provides solid contact.

Very good

Actually, the installation of the speaker wire into the Nakamichi Spade Y Banana Plug (why is it called a banana plug when it's just a split Y?) ñààwas very straightforward. There are 2 important things to remember: the first is to make sure you strip enough of the insulation so have the appropriate amount of exposed wire inside the device, and second, do NOT remove the screws from the device - leave them in the screw holes in. These things make otherwise you'll go crazy trying to get them back in while trying to keep your speaker wire in place. Once the speaker wires are in the device you can and hook them to the speaker terminal posts much easier than doing it with bare wire, giving you a more positive connection and if you change speakers it's just as easy. Yes, the Nakamichis are on the expensive side but you get what you paid for: high quality craftsmanship and materials and very aesthetically pleasing.
