Spade adapters

Just picked up a pair of mono Acoustic Zen Holligram II's and sold my speakers at the same time,the cables are terminated with spades. Decided to go with magnepans and now looking at adapters for the spades to bananas. Was thinking of WBT, any loss of sound quality using adapters or should I just resell and start looking for a pair terminated with bananas. Thanks, John

Thanks for your responses, I am temporarily ( dont cringe ) using monster cable spade adapters. Picked up my hollogram II's for a very decent price, will most likely sell or trade for a ready terminated pair and avoid the hassles and delays. Thanks, John

I actually used the X-Terminator Banana Adapters before sending my cables to the factory for retermination with WBT Midlines and thought the Monsters were pretty good.

Sonically, I didn't notice any degredation with them. I eventually stripped one of those too. It must be me.

Good luck!

Doubt anyone will read this again, but I am in a similar situation with my Panasonic AV receiver. I have Monster X-Terminators I cna use with my spade-terminated cables, but they won't open up enough to grip tightly in the rather large banana females on the Panasonic. I don't want to strip my cables or have them re-terminated, but I do want a nice, tight connection (who doesn't). Any suggestions?
