I'm interested to use heavy duty gold spades or banana plugs for all of Polks.

I would love to use banana plugs. My question is would they fit into Speaker binding posts or not?

    They will fit as long as they are 4 or 5 way binding posts. They probably are. What models of Polk?

    Thanks for the help everybody!

    mantis, I'm planning to upgrade my receiver to Denon AVR-3803. My Technics SA-DX940 got spring clips and only L/R are binding post.

    If my Polks take banana then I got my answer. Thanks mantis.
