OK, serious newbie question. I'll probably feel pretty silly when someone answers....
1) bare wire
2) bananas
3) spades
4) pins
5) WTF is the 5th option?

They'll take ring lugs as well ... However I think what they're really referring to is the capability to take banana plugs two ways.

The answer is "dual banana plugs". If the posts are spaced correctly, they will accept a dual banana plug.

Hmm. I would think that would fall under bananas, single or dual. Maybe not. Good answers guys.
Now I can go back to thinking about something more important, like lunch

I found this on partsexpress.com
"Five-way Binding Post: A type of connection usually found on speakers and amplifiers used for connecting speaker wire. The term five-way comes from its ability to connect to multiple wire termination methods: bare wire (compressed under the nut), bare wire (through-hole), speaker pin, spade plug, banana plug, and banana plug (through-hole). Used very often on high-end speakers for its flexibility and ease of use."Proud SOPA Member since 2005! -

According to Crutchfield, dual-bananas was the 5th way.
Is it Friday yet?
