WBT speaker binding posts
I am looking at some WBT 730 binding posts.
They are made of copper alloy. My concern is that brass is a copper alloy....
Has anybody used these, and are they any good?
I need speaker binding posts that fir the 19mm between centre standard, as my case has been drilled to this.
Another option is https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/bindi...4-p-12771.html
Any thoughts on which is best to get, or a good alternative?

I'm very sure that CMC binding posts at HIFI collective are solid copper and much cheaper.

The CMC ones are listed as being "Brass" on some of them.
Ideally I want to buy in Europe, as I can see the French customs starting to play silly buggers with anything coming from the UK.
I have not found a source for CMC here yet.
They will need to be plated, so that O don't have to keep cleaning them, as once tarnished, they won't sound as good.

Thanks.
I have used Audiophonics quite a bit.
I trust them as a seller, but the question is, is the Chinese "pure copper", actually brass?
The WBT 730 are actually a copper alloy...

There is so much fake stuff around.
Look at these WBT RCA connectors - https://www.amazon.fr/ESden-WBT-0144...7200196&sr=8-9
