Can I use banana plugs on my 15 year old DM 602s?

[ed94582]

Hi,

Silly question but I have owned a pair of DM 602 speakers for about 15 years and thought I would replace the speaker wire and got some wire made today with banana plugs but noticed today that the connectors in the back don't seem to allow banana plugs? I read about the red and black plastic protective covers but mine just seem like a solid metal bolt in the back...

See attached pics...

Does this seem right?

If so, is there any modification I can do so the connectors can accept banana plugs?

Thanks...

I dont know of any way to modify the connectors on your speakers.

Maybe just replace your banannas with spades?

The only way to use banana plugs would be to replace the binding posts with ones from a DM6xx Series 2 or 3. It's not that tough to do.

wow that is really strange, you must have one of the first run 602 series1 speakers or something because I have a set of 602 series1 speakers and they have binding posts that accept bananas... **shrugs**

you can get banana to spade adapters that would let you use the banana plugs you have now with your 602s. not really the best solution but it would work!
