    Locking banana plugs + B&W 685 - not possible?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm totally new to locking banana plugs but just got a great deal on some Zu cables. What I hadn't anticipated was the trouble their locking banana plug terminations are causing me. There seems to be no way for them to fit into the 685's banana terminals. They are simply too wide. Is there something I'm not thinking of trying? Surely this can't be an impossible pairing?

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

          Newbie Question re: banana plugs
          by Rcovell
          Hey guys and girls-
          I just became an 'official' member of Club Rotel with my purchase of an RSX 1055 and an RX 1050. The options are incredible, so I'll have to sit down and study for a while, I did get the clock on the remote set, whoppee!

          Now, for my question: The most trouble...

          DM601 s3's and Banana plugs...compatible?
          by corysmith01
          I just ordered some terminated speaker wire today. I upped the gauge to go thicker than I'm currently running and thought "what the hey, banana connectors would be a nice touch." My instruction manual for the 601's says this:

          "The terminals accept 6mm (1/4-in) spades, bared          ...

          banana plugs or spades to connect to amp
          by tboooe
          Hi, I read somewhere that spades are the preferred method of connecting speaker cables to the amp because banana plugs causes too much of a voltage drop (or something like that). Can someone please explain why one or the other is preferred?
