[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8462646, member: 540940"] What people are trying to say is your premise is wrong. There's nothing to support your assumption that set screw terminals are inferior to spade terminals -- not logically or anecdotally. Look at the "money is no issue" brands -- Brax, TRU, Zapco etc -- If there was a good reason to use big spade connectors I'm sure that's what they'd do, there just isn't. You'll find them on some of the lower power amps probably because the ADVANTAGES of set screw connections at lower power are reduced and the cost of the spade terminals is lower. If you just like spade terminal power/ground/speaker connections -- by all means use them. There is just no electrical advantage. [/QUOTE]
