RE: 40W Soldering Iron enough for Cardas CPBP Binding Posts

Agreed. I've been using the premium CCGR's for 10+ years now. At first they took forever to solder (I dial the temp up to 740/750 for these). What I learned to do is take a small abrasive Dremel bit (on a Dremel MINI MITE) to remove the plating from the cup. While the binding posts still take a good amount of time to heat up due to their mass, the overall soldering time is reduced applying solder to the exposed copper substrate.
