[simphiwes]

do banana plugs reduce speaker impedance? (a salesman told me this)basically what are the disavatages to using banana plugs if any.

hahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha

Its just a quick connection

Reduces impedance... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Go back and kick him in the nuts.

why me, i always get these stupid, think they know everything salemen than never give me information worth using, why me?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

The only downside to them -- some say

Is reduced contact with the post... since there is less metal or w/e...

But I like them because they are quick and to me a pretty solid connection

But my speakers are still 4 ohms, pretty sure about that.

There's no downside as long as they are high quality, which would apply to spades also.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Never quite saw the point to spades...

Would be slippery to me - easier to pull out, not really a better connection..

I would rather use bare wire than spades...

i bought audioquest banana plugs, dont know which model tough they were the best the shop had, they seemed like a pretty good connection when i installed them.

thanks for the response guys.

You can get a much much tighter connection with good spades than you can with bare wire especially if you are using stranded wire 12 ga or less. With the wire, the nut squishes the strands and the tightened nut pushes the wires our of the connection.

I just recently purchased some spades from Vampire to make some jumpers cause my banana holes in the posts are taken. I get a really tight connection with them.
