Looks stock, performs better. I run my wires thru the connectors; wire to wire direct clamped using the factory connectors only (pass thru into connector only). If using larger wire, buy some screw type maurettes and again; wire to wire connection.

The problem is the connectors themselves. They're steel! So are the nuts holding them onto the plate. Now, one could remove the connectors, run the internal wires out through the holes the connectors had been in, and solder the internal wires and speaker cable wire together outside the speaker---a/k/a the Ric Schultz (EVS) method. I don't want to do that, as I have multiple speakers I connect my speaker cables to, and I'm just not gonna mod them all. I mean, I like and want good sound, but I'm not a fanatic!
It's not so easy to pin down exactly where fanaticism begins. Want "good sound", simply follow the instructions in the speaker's manual. OTOH, want to crap up your speakers, follow some of the suggestions here.
Ha, fair enough Norman! I consider replacing the stock Magnepan steel speaker terminals with Cardas binding posts no more radical than changing the stock wheels and tires on a car to bigger wheels and lower-profile tires, a very common customization. My Chevy Tahoe came with 16" wheels and 255/75 tires, front and rear. I replaced them with 20" wheels, 8-1/2" width in the front with 245/45 tires, and 10" in the rear with 275/40 tires. They afford better cornering and handling, just as the Cardas posts will (I presume ;-) provide better sound than the steel speaker terminal tubes Magnepan speakers come fitted with. Solid binding posts alone should be an improvement on those goofy Magnepan terminals, which are imo ridiculous.
