biwire terminations

With 2 separate runs of speaker cables, is it advisable to terminate one cable with spades and the other with bananas at the amp? As opposed to connecting (pancake) 2 spade connectors at each terminal? Obviously, the terminations at the speaker would would be all spades or all bananas....

I believe that is an excellent method.

I would personally prefer spades on both ends, I like the solidity of the spade connector over bananas (though bananas are much easier to swap out) and depending on which amp you end up with you may have two pairs of binding posts for the spades.

That said either will work.

Thanks for your insights. I guess this setup would also limit the resale possibility somewhat...
