I just finished reconnecting everything with AR performance (the blue ones) interconnects, and am going to upgrade my speaker wire next.

Anyone ever use theses?

    I have those exact plugs... I bought mine from ebay for 19.99 for all 5 pairs (that makes it 20 plugs all together). They work fine and, in hindsight, I should've bought them sooner.

    I don't mean to step on your thread, but I have the exact same question pretty much.

    Only the ones I'm looking at are these:
    http://www.beachaudio.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=370

    FutureShop doesn't mention up to what gauge they will support and I'm having a hard time finding out on the net.

    Anyone use these ones? What gauge are you clipping them to?

    I'm thinking about getting 12 gauge speaker cable, but if they won't fit into these plugs I'll just get the Monster Quicklock Banana Plugs. (I know, I know, we all hate Monster).

    Ok guys,
    This is the last time I'm gonna mention this (I posted less than a week ago on another banana plug thread), but this website has much better quality plugs for the money. They have excellent prices on bulk speaker wire.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    I use these on the upstairs system. Yes, they will accept 12 gauge wire.
