Excellent connection, and a clean look.
Size: 7.2 Surround + 3 HDMI
This worked great. I love a clean look. So I wired all the cables into the back side, in the wall. Not it looks clean and origional, like it came from the builder. I got the house and there were just a bunch of wires hanging out of the wall. This cleaned it up perfectly.

Poorly made product
Size: 7.1 Surround + HDMI
All of the tightening barrels for the bare wire install strip out when I tried to tighten down on the wire. Not just one or two but all 14 connectors failed. Very poorly made.

Great Banana Plugs
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
I recently purchased these FosPower banana plugs to tidy up my speaker wiring, and they’ve been a significant improvement over bare wire ends. Installation is straightforward: strip the wire, loosen the two tiny set screws, slide the wire in, tighten everything down, and then screw the barrel back on. Once assembled, the connection feels secure and tight, making it much easier to swap gear around and reducing the risk of stray strands causing a short.
The standout feature of this design is the dual set-screw clamp. It firmly grips the speaker wire without relying on the outer collar to “crush” it in place. I’m using 12-gauge wire, and it holds well for my setup.
Initially, the plugs may fit snugly in some binding posts. Once seated, there’s no wobble, but it might take a bit of extra push the first time.
The set screws are small, so a bit of precision is needed. Use a small flathead screwdriver and don’t over-tighten them.
Overall, these plugs feel well-made, look clean once installed, and fulfill their purpose as banana plugs: making speaker connections quick, neat, and reliable.
