Conflicting information taken from the Eichmann Bayonet Banana Plug web site (https://www.vhaudio.com/bayonet.html):

In contrast, the hollow thin-wall tube connector (Beryllium Copper) of the Eichmann Bayonet Banana Plug is compromised through a lack of mass, where the wall thickness doesn't support the large current flow from amplifier to speaker. The result is often a lightweight, bright sound.

It doesn’t give me any confidence that they know what they are talking about.

I have to say I haven't been impressed by the build quality of their connectors.

What I do not like about the design is the fact that a lot of the pin is plain plastic and therefore doing nothing inside the socket. I prefer the Kimber design which has full metal contact in the plug.
