if you break a binding post, is there an easy way to replace it?

    The answer depends. What piece of gear are you talking about?

    one of my posts on my alpha 20 bookshelfs broke. It was wound up extremely tight when I first hooked them up. I had to use pliers to to unscrew it and I ended snapping it off by accident. It has two sets of posts for bi-wiring so I just used the other set. ...but I was hoping I could easily replace it in case I want to bi-wire in the future.

    While I'm not familiar with that speaker, it should be a easy job. If you want the post to be an exact match I would contact the manufacturer. Generally speaking it will involve removing the binding post plate, remove the lead wire (soldered on probably) and unbolt the post. To install, go in reverse order.
