    Terminal Cups -Connector Quality?

    Hello,
    I am helping a friend build some small surround speakers, and would like to know if it is best to avoid using the inexpensive round or rectangular terminal cups with binding posts on them and buy separate binding posts. The cost difference is huge, so he only wants to do this if the sound quality difference is likely noticeable.

    Thanks for your advice.

    There is no sound difference at the power levels of surround speakers.

    People who spend big bucks on their main speakers may want big buck connections because it feels right emotionally. Or because they are fascinated by very large gauge speaker cables and the cup binding post does not accept such huge wire.

      Binding posts do not make any sound difference. It just comes down to personal preference.
