Is there any advantage to using a Neutrik Speakon XLR type power lead connector plug and socket over a normal kettle lead plug and socket, other than locking aspect ?

Do you mean for mains power? I doubt it, although XLRs have a tighter pin connection, they have a smaller surface area. In any case, can XLRs be safely used for mains? I thought they were low voltage only.

Speakons are absolute sods to wire up in my experience.

I´m talking about the NAC3FCA connector which is designed for AC and has screw terminals.

That termination is legal as its used on the Isotek Titan and others but not that good conductivity wise I guess as it won't be plated to prevent oxidation, I may be mistaken of course.
Ok, the REL sub that I used to have had one.
Happy?
