Monoprice 10 Pair Affinity Series 24k Gold Speaker Banana Plug

I like the double screw design much better than the one where you fold the strands over the barrel. The fit is much better and it's easier on your hands. I did have one threads on the red barrel stripped, making it hard to push into the receptacle. But I worked around it. The banana end is nice and wide, so it can be hard to push into even the MP wall plates, but it makes for a very solid connection. I bought them on sale, so it was a great deal and installed them on both ends of my 7.2.4 setup. So 22 pairs in total. If the lengths fit, watch for the sale on the premade cable with these ends, it ends up being not a lot more than buying quality cable and ends and doing the build yourself.

4.5 stars. I love them, mostly. I really like the look, the build quality, and the functionality. But the one problem I keep having is that the screw-on cover comes loose very easily. The plugs require firm pressure at first, and then they go in relatively easily. It gives me confidence that it will hold contact well.
