  Just saying that no mechanical connection is ever going to be perfect, spades or bannanas or what have you. I have had good luck with Pomona plug banannas, and on the rare occasion that they failed back when I owner a retail hifi/audio/stereo shop circa 1986-1993, we simply replaced them. Yanno, if you are just a guy in a home with one pair of speakers and these jacks failed the 2nd or 3rd or 18th time you inserted them, then yeah, they suck! Cut em off and install some pomonas! (cuz I can tell you we changed speakers or amps umpteen times a day, and rarely if ever, had to replace jacks for failure)

    I have never had a spade lug fail. They are also pretty easy to terminate yourself with a good crimping tool. You could pay for the tool with the money that you would pay someone to terminate and then you still have the tool.

      carries Via Blue connectors from Germany. Way less than WBT and of great quality. I use these. You can use terminal/wire sleeves to make a gas tight connection that can be crimped on using a simple crimping tool available at Home Depot or any good hardware store. The sleeves come in different sizes to fit different gauge wire and of course the spades are available in different sizes as well.
