Reasonably Priced Spade Terminals??

scubalab

Anyone have any advice on reasonably priced spade terminals? I have Monoprice 12/2 in-wall wire connecting all my speakers with Monster Cable bananas at the receiver end (got a great deal on 6 pairs, otherwise I think they're overpriced at $20 for 2 pair...) and raw at the speaker end binding posts. I'd like to terminate the speaker ends with spades.

I know Monster makes spades and I like the way the monster terminals connect to the wire, but don't feel like spending 5 bucks a piece ($10/pair)... especially since I need 7 pairs and you have to buy in pairs of 2...

Any recommendations? Are these any good:

How about these at $3.50 a pair:

I would avoid cheap brass connectors.

I am using these, which I think are just re branded Nakamichi spades:

But they are probably the cheap spades Face is referring to. They seem to work fine for me though.
