I have been using a binding post bypass system for over 15 years and will so on my new Class A amps I will be making soon. Also works on speakers. Basically, you use a binding post as a clamp. You bring the wire from inside the amp or speakers through a hole in the chassis/box and wrap the wire (tinned) around the outside of the binding post or through its hole. You then clamp your speaker wire directly to the wire that is wrapped around the post. You still get to have the usability of having a binding post but you get the sound of $400 set of connectors for very little. I am going to be using the $27 a set of four connectors from Parts Connexion: http://www.partsconnexion.com/product7481.html.
They have a hole in the post and also open far enough to be useful...also you can cut the red insulator on the back and use the hot and ground separately.
