None of my (electronic) connections are permanent and all are subject to frequent reconnection. Locking bananas are an effective compromise. Spades are not.Joke aside I do believe that they are not suitable connectors for permanent connections.

Then keeping the connection flap open is not a problem for you.None of my (electronic) connections are permanent and all are subject to frequent reconnection. Locking bananas are an effective compromise.
where's the Genelec !?![]()
Very true.
Almost every speaker that accepts bananas also accepts these and there are tons of ready made cables available.

As noted elsewhere, it is no longer a problem.Then keeping the connection flap open is not a problem for you.
I still use those good old Pamona dual bananas from the lab when I was a lowly tech. All of my DIY speakers have five way posts appropriately spaced (sorry EU).4mm bananas are for test instruments and science labs, I agree.

I bought a box full of red and black Pamonas back in the 80s. They are still as good as new.Pomonas are almost audiophile priced these days.
It was mainly to say that it has no use and that it is not at all aesthetic, especially as the top of the speakers is very beautiful ... although I guess some may find the plastic flap that folds or not ... beautifulThere is a slot that is almost 2" wide to pass your cables. How thick are your cables? My Salon2 flap is closed with no problem at all.
One of the cons of spades is that they can easily make contact to each other if they become loose.Very true.

I was commenting on the post that said the door cannot be closed due to the cables. I have pretty thick cables and they go through the slot and the door closes. As the door is at the rear of the speaker hardly anyone sees the plasticity of the door. Naturally, when it comes to aesthetics everyone is different.It was mainly to say that it has no use and that it is not at all aesthetic, especially as the top of the speakers is very beautiful ... although I guess some may find the plastic flap that folds or not ... beautiful
I hate spade connectors with a passion! I have tripped over cables in th epast, pulled the spades round (despite being firmly tightened) and ended up shorting the speaker cables together at the speaker end (not all domestic 'audiophool grade' amps have any protection at all 'cos the designers can't design sonically transparent protection, so leave it out).Then keeping the connection flap open is not a problem for you.
Glad you guys aren't as clumsy as me (an aspergic tendency I gather).
I've always been clumsy though, like a bull in a china shop. I can use increasing age as an excuse now though.Nah, it's just older age.![]()
I'm both clumsy and Capricorn and on top of that I like to test worst case scenarios.I've always been clumsy though, like a bull in a china shop. I can use increasing age as an excuse now though.
We old aspie Capricorns were born ancient, but apparently we become younger in outlook the older we get even as our bodies seize up![]()
Use 45 degree bananas plugsNope. Stock cables with locking bananas.

Great idea but I none was compact enough to let the door close.Use 45 degree bananas plugs
