Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question

IMHO BFA Style Bananas are the best speaker connection you can get. I much prefer them over spades, bare wire or other types of bananas. If I were needing quality speaker cable termination today, I would probably get these:

Dyson Audio 24k Beryllium Copper Low Mass BFA Z-plug Bananas

I contacted Jeffery Dyson a while back. He recommended soldering them and cutting off the tab/flag on the barrel. That’s also what I’ve done when I used other brands of low-mass BFA banana plugs in the past.

Parts Express also sells a couple of different BFA style banana plugs, but I believe both are screw on type. I prefer the lower mass solder/crimp type.

Take a look at these threads...

I would not use any other Banana plug - they are extremely good

I have to be sure the Banana's are the same type used by the Audio Quest Type 4 Banana's installed by Audio Advisor.  Both pairs of speakers that I own are persnickety and don't like the Spades I've tried to use nor the new Locking Banana's that I ordered from BJC.  The Mirage OM 10's are almost 20 years old and the Castle Conway 3's are about 15 years old.  May have proprietary connectors that require a specific Banana plug or bare wire only.  Nothing else has worked.

Steve.  Those KLE are pretty expensive but if they have yielded noticeable sonic improvements to the audio, then they may be worth the cost.  Have to determine if they would fit my speakers though.  I don't want to order some that costly only to find I have to return them like the BJC cables.
