Bi Wiring for speakers question

gdnrbob.  I gave my AQ Type 4 with the spade lugs to a friend.  Even though I bought the cable with the larger spade lugs they still were too small for the Mirage OM 10's and Castle Conway 3 speakers.  Not sure why but they would still not fit.  Too small.

Have since found Banana's work on the OM 10's.  They had some kind of plastic insert with a small hole inside where the cables connect.  One problem solved now that I can use Banana's on both pairs of speakers.  No point in trying spades again the way I see it.

Debating now if I should just return the BJC and get a replacement cable or buy something else somewhere else.  The broken pin doesn't have me as pissed off as putting the wrong connector on the other side.  Fatter than a Banana and looks a little like an IC but it won't fit an RCA female connector when tried.

Any ideas?  Should I try another speaker cable manufacture or is this bad QC simply a fluke?

I would call BJC and tell them your situation. From what I have heard, they are a stand up company. It's always disappointing when things like this happen, but they do. 
So, just give them the benefit of the doubt. The only way you are going to know if they are your 'cuppa' is to try them. If they aren't, then onto Plan B.

Just hooked up the Type 4 sets to my OM 10's and the Denon PMA520. Wonderful sound and a great pairing.  Better match than the Yamaha A500 amp which plays better with the Castle Conway 3 towers.  

I am going to get a replacement for it and hope the next one is made correctly.  I've read some good things about their cables and hope this time around they get it right.

There 'ya go...

Turns out the connectors are not what I expected.  Apparently they are locking Banana's.  They don't look like any other Banana's I've seen before.  Will try to get them to fit this weekend.  I may have to use bare wire or standard Banana's if these don't fit.
