Hello everyone. I have bi-wired Vandersteen speakers and one subwoofer for each speaker. The subs should be connected in parallel with my speakers. Since my new amp only has one set of outputs--which accepts spades only-- I will need to connect 3 different speaker cables to each binding post. What do you think is the best way to make the connections to the amp? I tried stacking 3 spades on each binding post and it did not make secure connections. Thoughts?

You might be able to use these for the speaker bi-wire and the spades for the sub.

You can select the type of connectors on each end. If the amp takes bananas and spades then you could go all banana for the speakers and spades for the sub.

Actually, I did just that--only through Cardas. Thank you for your response.
