No. They do sound good, though slightly inconvenient.

They do look kinda cute, no?

Within a range, the thicker the better, for sales. Girth matters!

The current your speaker cables carry cannot be enhanced by a shovel at the end. So, best to solder your cables direct to the crossover board, and do an AB-X double blind with a boombox.

Hi Rupy. I just measured the spades. The monster cable spade is about 1.5 mm in girth. The other pair may be just a bit thinner. However both function well and I am happier with them rather than the banana plugs. However I have seen than some equipment, though claiming spade compatibility, somehow don’t accept spades! Or maybe I am doing something wrong. Anyhow do tell us whether you have fitted the same and did you find a difference. Thanks

Yes.. I have observed the difference. Slim spade terminals can sit and fastened in binding post better than the thicker one.

Generally slim is copper and thick ones are brass.

Recently I have imported few slim spade terminals from DH LABS USA. Gave me very good results



Check out my speaker cable builds in this link. It gave me the best SQ.

Thread 'Solid core 10 AWG speaker cables'

Nov 3, 2024

Sourced these cables from Amazon USA, when I have been in Las Vegas trip this year.

After the trying 14 AWG solid copper wire, I got more curious to know the sound of thicker solid cable which can have more circumference and gauge.

Couldn't find any thing thicker than 10AWG solid copper in Amazon portal, I want to give it a try.
