Reccomendations for banana plugs?

[skyline889]

I need some plugs for my new Canare speaker cables, so I need some reccomendations on what's good and what's not. I found these and they're cheap and look good but I don't know of they are decent or not, anyone buy these or have any other suggestions?

They look fine. But do you really need 20 ?

THe link you gave is for a 20 pair auction. 8 units are only 20$

I would go for them. I doubt they would affect the sound.

If you don't need 20 pairs, Blue Jeans has decent ones for $3.50/pair (non-locking). They work just fine for my needs.

I use some Atlona banana plugs that have a split tube for the connector. They cost me around $12-$13 for four pairs, and have an extremely good grip that'll never come out on its own. If it wasn't such a pain in the ass to get to the back of the amp when I need to temporarily disconnect things, I'd just screw the bare wire down to the binding posts, and not even use banana plugs.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! It may seem crazy but I was thinking of using a total of 16 banana plugs for my speaker cable. The amplifier that I'm getting has a second set of outputs designed for bi-wiring and my speakers have the capability to be bi-wired so if I do go that route I would need eight plugs per channel

. Do you guys think there'd be a difference in sound quality with that type of bi-wiring?
