Curious on people's thoughts on preferred speaker cable terminations. I've almost exclusively used bananas over the years - first the 9-fin tension fit kind, and more recently the WBT 45-degree locking ones. The WBTs are definitely superior for staying put. I've never used spades, and haven't used bare wire since my first speakers back in high school. I'm currently installing ceiling speakers for the new media room that "require" bare wire in spring loaded connectors, and it got me thinking about cable terminations again.
And taken a step further, is there an advantage to a soldered connection to the terminating fitting over (1 or 2) set screws making a mechanical connection?
Once the basic requirement of creating a low resistance high integrity signal path is fulfilled, I find it hard to believe that one version of an end fitting would be much different from another, but I've been wrong before. What say you?
