A prefer a set-screw connector with a copper crimp sleeve. A crimp sleeve is made of thin soft copper, and the only thing that's required is an inexpensive crimp tool that can form a trough on one side of the sleeve that the dual set-screws can "grab" into/onto. The major affixment for the termination is created by the dual set-screws rather than a severe crimp made by a heavy-duty crimp tool for a high-mass crimp-type spade. I don't use a soldered spade or a soldered banana plug except for special applications. The unplated Furez set-screw spades seem impressive, and AV Outlet sells the proper crimp sleeves, and normally carries the ViaBlue TS2 set-screw type BFA banana plug, but it's out of stock, at this time.

The affordable set-screw type Viborg VB401B gold-plated copper banana plug is interesting. Pure copper with a beryllium copper tensioner. It would be a good mate for an unplated copper set-screw type Furez spade at the amplifier end. On sale 30% off right now, but it may take a month to be delivered.
