Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts


The binding posts on my Monitor Audio PL-300 have had frequent problems loosening and disconnecting the Audio Quest spade type terminals. Has anyone ever had this kind of problem?
Thanks for help.

I know this problem.

The issue is actually that the nuts on the speaker AND/or the spades are too hard. If they were soft, they would deform just a touch and grip.

What you want to use are spring-loaded WBT terminals like these:

It is hard to tell, but there’s a spring molded onto the spade itself.

+1 for locking banana plugs. Furutech plugs suck, stick with WBT and others.

Also, avoid Rhodium, it is just too hard.
