I'm redoing my audio system and will also redo my speaker wire terminations to standardize everything. So far the best option seems to be using Monster's spade connectors like these http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1062 on the speakers themselves. And bannana plugs into the A/V receiver like these http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1272. Good choice or something better out there? The bannana terminations need to allow room for 2 wires as I biwire my speakers (don't bother lecturing me on this, my Missions sound better to ME bi-wired and that's all that matters). I don't have a pro-grade crimper so was just going to go this route with Monster's self-crimping versions but am open to suggestions.
Also I may have to splice in more speaker cable for the rear surrounds as I've repositioned the receiver location. What's the best way to do this without much increase in resistance or signal loss? Changing the wire out isn't practical since one set of rears have the wires stapled in and the other set is a very difficult run thru the side walls.
Thanks,
