Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

I've been trying to successfully connect my amplifier to my speakers using 12 gauge speaker cables. However, the speaker output on my amplifier is too small. As a temporary solution, I tried fraying the ends of the cables into two parts, and only inserting one into the speaker output, although this creates distortion. I am aware of banana plugs, although all the ones I've looked at aren't the right size. I've attached a picture to give you an idea.
I'm using a Marantz amp from the 70's. I've also ruled out that the amplifier is not causing any distortion of its own.
Is there any solution to this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
