Originally I went cheap using crimp-on connectors and was unhappy/disgusted with them. The aggravation was not worth it, and fortunately these plugs are a great alternative plus are not really all that expensive. I only need these for the ends that connect to the receiver.

Just bare one end of the wire, unscrew, poke the wire through the end with the male threading, and then screw back together. You can also connect through the side if you want.

Works great! And since you push/pull by grasping the plug, there is no danger of pulling the wire out of the plug like with crimp-on connectors.

These connectors are very well-made, heavy, and high-quality. They don't come with instructions, so I'm not sure if I put the wire in correctly for rear-entry. It seems that typically one sticks the wire in the side hole. That wouldn't really work for me, as there are about 99 banana jacks on the back of my Sony receiver.

About Parts Express, and Dayton Audio... everything I've gotten from them has been very high-quality, and very reasonable prices. I highly recommend them. btw, even if it sounds like it, I don't work for them, nor am I getting any compensation for this review. :-)

I purchased a couple of sets of these to use on my Bose 251 outdoor speakers near the pool and so far they have been great. Prior to purchasing these I had always bought the Monster brand banana plugs. I can't tell any difference in sound or performance and these are a fraction of the cost of the Monster Cable brand.
