    "Standard spacing" (0.75") of banana jacks is a bit of a sore subject in much of the world. The UK's old 2-pin mains connectors were interchangeable enough with dual bananas as to incur the wrath of the EU.
    Of course, the UK ain't part of the EU no mo', but 0.75" banana jack spacing on modern componentry is rare indeed. :|

    Ironically, the ELAC has it, Polk, not so much.

    That objection never made sense to me. So what, you plug the male end of a UK plug into a speaker and what happens? NOTHING!!!

    I wonder if there were people who would plug the other end of the speaker cable into a power outlet...
