I am thinking about buying a speaker wire connector for my CS2 speaker. I was wondering what the best kind would be. Also, I am not looking to spend too much money on it.

Thanks.

    Banana plugs are the easiest. Make sure your receiver can use them. Also some Polk's have little plastic inserts in the binding post that have to be removed before using bananas.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Are these a good choice? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2801&seq=1&format=4#feedback

    Also, I am planning on getting some Polk floorstanding speakers as well (probably something like the R50's, R300's, or Monitor 50's or 60's), and I am wondering if these will work for them as well.

    Search for GLS Bananas on Ebay. They are very good connectors on the cheap. That is what I have been using. I think the store is speaker repair shop?

    I am using those banana plugs on monoprice and like them. They are nice and heavier than they look. I would go with monitor 50's or 60's because it would match your center and the monitors are a better speaker than the r series IMO. I have the monitor 50's and enjoy them. Hope this helps and Good luck with your choice.
