I need me a bunch of these deals. Any reccommendation on brand/price?

what? bannana posts?

you can get pretty cheap ones at BBuy I think... they rubber wrap behind the connector kind of sucks but the just screw on to the wire.

personally I go with dual plugs at Audio Emporium. Forgot who makes them. $15 a plug (one plug = one speaker) but they are VERY high quality, connect by putting the wire through a hole and then intersecting it with a screw terminal, and give a very solid snap into your speaker/receiver. The only downside is that they are english only meaning if you have european posts on your speakers/receiver they won't work (a tad too wide I believe, or short.. one of the two).

but if you care about cost and not sure if you have european or non-european connectors, just go get the ones from BBuy (they are not dual, they are single so they can plug into the inidivdual positive or negative).

My reciever has screw posts- I can either set them right in the middle, or screw them down (mashing the wire sort of).

I got some from Radio Shack that seem to be pretty good.

lol.. that is essentially my stereo (3300).

the high quality dual plugs should work with that ($15 per speaker) and the single plugs will definitely work (that's what I use.. duals to the speakers and singles to the stereo) and are much cheaper (I think like $15 for 6 or something).

use banana plugs.. nothing else is as good.
