RE: Banana plugs on amplifiers

The banana plug/jack was, I believe, invented by the General Radio Corporation in Cambridge, Mass, USA, way back in the '30s, maybe earlier. IMO, it's a wonderful versatile system, and that's what I put on all my DIY components. I just bought a pair of the smallest KEF "Q" speakers for the TV, and was very surprised to find the little plastic plugs in the back, as described above. They were quickly popped out, but I was still amazed that KEF didn't put the connectors on the standard 3/4" spacing, so a standard dual plug would fit. IMO, the EC should have banned their power plugs instead! (Foghorn Leghorn- "that's a joke, son")
