Spades for RMB-1095: what diameter?

[hired goon]

G'day,

I thinking about getting some spades for connecting my speaker wire to my RMB-1095. What diameter do I need? The 1095 is back in its rack now, and I can't find the diameter of the WBT plugs on the Rotel site.

I use oversized 8mm..5/16 spades..and that's pretty snug,I cannot see anything smaller working very well.The cables that I use are not very flexible and using them with spades are a real pain anytime I disconnect and rehook...next time I'm getting bananas.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps I'll get some banana plugs as well, and see which works best.

I run banna plugs with mine, works GREAT and easy to disconnect, etc.

Go the bananas they are much more convenient.

Somewhat OT, but...

What's a good place to buy really nice banana plugs? Instead of the cheap ones that Radio Shack sells...

Yet at the same point, I don't want to be paying an arm and a leg for...

So where the best value is what I'm basically saying?!

I have a lot of belden speaker wire that I am using and just need the banana plugs. I found some pretty good screw ones for 3.95 a pair, is that decent?

I haven't tried them, but the locking bananas I have been reading about seem even better. Gives a more snug fit, just the way guys like it!
