Monoprice Gold Plated Speaker Banana Plugs – 5 Pairs – Open Screw Type, For Speaker Wire, Home Theater, Wall Plates And More

Nice solid plugs that fit solidly in the speaker outlets of my hifi amplifier (I bought these because my existing ones were loose). The finish looks good. The hole will take a 6mm diameter cable core and the screw tightens down well. I haven't tried but I suspect that it would be possible to use the screw as a terminal to attach open spade wire terminals. While not clear from the description the screws have hollow cores making these plugs stackable. All in all I'm extremely happy with the plugs

Terrible quality, on first look all seemed ok and reasonable for the money, however, no spring retention in the connectors at all meaning that they are a one time only fit. Remove them from the connection once you have made it and they won’t retain again. Not good.

Quick and easy to use, well made and working well.

perfect for my all avr, amp and spkrs

These Monoprice 5 Pairs of High-Quality Gold Plated Speaker Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type are very good value and work extremely well.

よく見てないから悪いんだけど、ケーブルを横から指すので、直角に折れ曲がりアンプに抜き差しする際ちょっと使いにくい。 多分これはもう買わないと思う。(別に見つけたのを使ってるし。^^;） てっきり中でねじ止めかと思ってたんだけどなぁ。 それ以外は今んところ問題ないんだけど...。

Not much to be said other than these are really good. The quality of the product is flawless and I loved how easy it was to connect wire to them. No soldering mess!

First, they DO work with skinnier wires, like 16 AWG lamp cord/speaker wire. If you don't want to use the side holes, strip 1/2" of insulation off the wire ends, shove them into the ends of the loosened plugs, then use a second plug (or anything that fits) to poke through the side hole and push the bare wire out the other side. Tighten up the screw and you've got a solid connection. Simple. No need for Vice Grips. For those worrying about a "loose fit", they're easily adjustable. Using a pair of Channellock-style pliers opened wide, put the tip of the plug against the upper jaw of the pliers, bring the lower jaw up under the end of the plug (it fits like it was made for it), and squeeze gently. The insertable part of the plug will get shorter and fatter, making a nice snug fit in any reasonably standard socket. Don't squeeze too hard or you'll have a useless gold-plated mushroom. It doesn't take much force. Are these the ultimate banana plugs? No. But they're good enough for any system that cost less than $10,000.
