    Default Binding posts

    My Tannoys need new binding posts (one of the terminals broke off, looked like the metal had oxidised, weird?) so I'm after recommendations for suitable replacements.

    I've seen these -

    But am open to any suggestions. (they need to be long to go through the 17mm backboard).

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi charming Roy,

    I've used these before and they are excellent. I've never found them this cheap before, I've just ordered two sets.

    Roy , you can get binding posts or you can get binding posts . Aparently size matters

    Simple rule of thumb with binding posts: If you wouldn't feel comfortable using them to moor a battleship, in a hurricane, then they aren't big enough.

    If it's long you want these are good. I used them through 18mm birch ply.

    I broke the terminals off an old amp of mine, from years of over tightening. So, I soldered the speaker wires directly to the amp! Worked like a charm for 10 years or more.

    Never forget - If your binding posts don’t need to be tightened using an adjustable wrench, then they’re not chunky enough.
