Viborg 8X HiFi Speaker Banana Connectors, 24K Gold-Plated Banana Plug, Dual Screws Locking, Hi-end Audio Speaker Banana Jack Terminals for Speaker Cable (Support 8-20 AWG Wires)

I just reviewed the higher end plugs that didn't fit my amp. As earlier described, the higher priced plugs fit only my speakers. The plugs shown here are the ones I used on my amp. They are cheaper but still of good quality. These just compressed more easily to fit a slightly tighter input. They lock in firmly and fix the falling out issue you'll have with those really cheap plugs at discount stores.

I made a pair of speaker cables for the listening room and used these Viborg banana connectors on all the ends. Using a multi-stranded 10 Gauge copper conductor, they allowed me to insert the stripped end into the rear of the Viborg connector and still have enough room to fully tighten the 2 retaining screws flush with the connector body so that the sleeve could be screwed on. A different brand that I tried would not allow this with anything larger than 12 Gauge wires, and even that required that the screws be excessively tightened. But the best thing about these compared to many others I have used over the years is that the metal that the "springy" part at the tip is much thicker than average. That means that they need a firm push to fit into the jack ( a bit of DeoxIT Gold helps lubricate and protect here) when installing and assures a firm vibration-free contact with the jack. So, between accepting the thicker than average wire I wanted to use and the increased spring tension of the tips, these made for a perfect project. They are well made and work perfectly in my setup.

I wanted to like these but just couldn't. Each of them broke inside of the plug. The outer silver sheath you see is so tight to the plug that if you can't get the small screw flush, you might as well not even have it.

I have not used banana clips before, but I really like these. Saw others that connect really odd and these use small set screws to hold the wires firmly. Seem well made and are working for me.

I bought these to go with 12 awg speaker wire and it works perfectly. Installation is simple and very secure. Plugs fit properly. Would have given 5 stars but on one of the plugs one of the two set screws was missing. Mine also came with color coded sleeves marked left and right which is a nice touch. Not sure if they are shrink wrap or not. Edit: I can confirm that the sleeves are heat shrink and of good quality too. Really makes a nice looking terminal.

Very good product, the quality is definitely there. Used them on the wires to connect my amp to my sub but didn't use the outer part that unscrews just wasn't enough room on the amp or sub. Definitely use the heat shrink that comes with the connectors to keep from shorting out if they touch each other.

I used them to connect two sets of speakers to my class T amp and was able to accept two feeds of 16 gauge speaker wire due to it's sizeable opening, although it may be too wide for some people. No missing set screws on my batch and the plugs fit in snugly.

These looked better than they seem to be. I have not used these yet, but thought the wire spring pressure would be better than the formed blades on most banana plugs. I would not use these without heat shrink over the plug covers. You don't want wire weight pulling these together and shorting your speaker terminals. These are decent, but there are better.
