Speaker binding posts

Does anyone know anything of these?

Or can someone recommend something better

Thanks

hi James. I note that the binding posts you link to are copper plated whereas the conductors in these are solid copper

I hadn't spotted they were only plated, well done mate.
I wonder if the solid copper binding posts are any good?

That seems very expensive. I've got a load of the gold plated version of these. They cost me about a fiver for four. The connectors are OK but nothing special design wise in my opinion. You just know the plastic outer ring will break sooner or later.

Have a look at these, they are cheap and pretty good. I've used them a few times: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1908724021...84.m1497.l2649

As you can see I've just ordered more.

Thanks Geoff, I presume these are gold plated brass? I have a dislike for brass presuming it's not the best conductor in the world, I know I'm just being a fussy bugger.

If it were brass wire you might have a concern, but the sectional area of the connectors is big enough for conductivity not to be an issue at all. You are after all only looking at a very short distance anyway. There's plenty of data about to qualify this.

[Sovereign]

No need for the data, I'll take your word for it.

Yup, I've used the one's Geoff linked to dozens of times - They aren't the last word in precision engineering but easily the best second choice after the silly money WBT/Cardas/CMC.
