magnetic connections on amplifier

[sinosic 10+ year member]

i was thinking if i could solder a small magnet on each of my two speaker wires, then soldered another magnet on each + and - on my amp. the reason because i broke part off part of the screw on my amp due to over tighting it. im not sure how the magnetic field will effect the signal. what do you guys think?

why dont you just solder the speaker wires onto the terminals?

or just get a new screw?

Thirded. I'd also recommend drilling out the old screw and putting in a new one.

Besides, magnets don't like heat. They tend to lose their field. So soldering is pretty much out...

x2 ... when magents heat up they lose their magnetic field quickly. Just solder the wires directly to the terminals or get a new screw.

Depending on the magnet, it is probably a very poor conductor as well.

you can always solder the wire on like said before then use spade terminals male and female so you can disconnect if you want.
