I'm looking for some new spade connectors for my HT speakers. (Paradigm Studios) Seems the inner stationary posts have a larger diameter than what I am used to.

I tried the RS crimp style connector, won't fit unless bent out big time with pliers.
Are there any spades out there that are designed with a larger inner spacing that doesn't cost more than $2-3 each? I'll be using them on $1-a-foot "CL3" rated in-wall 4-conductor #12GA bi-wire, (will need 4 per speaker) so I'm trying to resist the high $$$ connectors.

...in 5/16" size for 2 different conductor sizes. Click the link, go to Speaker Cables, then Connectors. They're the '1056' and 'P8M' versions. Michael Percy sells them; http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf , p. 4.
