Banana Plug, Pin or Spades?

Every pair of Maggies I've ever had (4 different pairs) were equipped with Banana jacks (not 5-way binding posts). My 1.7's have screw locking on the jacks.

Yeah how long do they last are used ones durable? Magnaplanar ?
They more for music or movies also.
Maybe someday I’ll have to listen to a pair when I have more money .

My experience is that they last longer than you've been alive.:biggrin:

Listening to anything is free. You have to make the effort to audition "whatever". I have ridden the train for 2 1/2+ hours to audition gear. It all depends on how motivated you are.

IMO/E a speaker and system that's dialed in for flat response at the sweet spot is equally good with music and movies. Adjusting for flat in room response is what any auto equalization system does. For movies or music, flat is flat.

You don't need to have money to listen to speakers, you do however need to have money to buy them. Quit spending the little money you do have on junk and eventually you may be able to afford something halfway decent. :whip:

I’ll build some sicker ones with tech flex and 10 awg without this crazy thick coating over the winter
 
There's a reason why most banana plugs have a plastic outer coating. A dead short, between outputs, is an amp-killer.
