Product Description

Speaker wire is made from copper wire that can corrode very quickly, rapidly deteriorating the performance of your cables and the overall performance of your system. To avoid this, always terminate your speaker wire with connectors. The kind of connector you need varies with the kinds of connectors on the back of your amp/receiver and your speakers. In many cases, the connectors will mandate Banana type plugs, and that's where the QL GMT-H Package includes two pair (4 connectors)

Customer Reviews

Overpriced but convenient
Very easy to use but overpriced, however there is not much else out there with similar design. Radio Shack carries similar banana plugs, but they cost only a couple of dollars less.

Obviously, sound quality wise these are not any better than $1 banana plugs where you have to tighten the screws, the question to ask is whether the convenience is worth $$ to you.

Three stars only because they are overpriced, if they were $10, I would have given them 5 stars.

It's about the subtle, subjective differences...
When I stareted looking for some mid-to-high end audio components (speakers, wire, etc.) I quickly became overwhelmed with the many variations available from Monster and other vendors. I asked myself, "What is the real difference between one item and another, very similar one?"

After much research and actually trying different products, I can report that the differences are subtle and mostly subjective within a similar price range.

Obviously there is a difference between high-end speakers and wires, and smaller, cheaper speakers using lamp wire or thin speaker wire. But even then, you may not notice much difference until you really listen for the high and low notes, the quality of a singer's voice or a solo instrument, or the resonance of the bass notes.

What you give yourself in terms of quality can really only be justified by your budget, beliefs, and preferences. Don't be misled by thinking that all the expensive stuff is just hype - it does make a difference! But the difference won't change your life, it will only make you feel good if you invest and believe you're getting quality for your money. Here's my point: bottom line, the technology takes SECOND PLACE within a similar price range or product line. The most important factor is how you feel when you listen to your music. If you feel cheated or swindled, or that you bought something you didn't need, then the music will always sound that way to you. But if you believe you bought the best quality you could afford, and that it's purpose is to serve your music tastes and enjoyment, then the sounds you hear will have that quality. There is no magic technology, no Star Trek in real life; there is just belief, dollars, common sense, and choosing to be satisfied with your choices and enjoy them for what they are. Sorry if this sounds like I'm preaching.

Believe, research, buy the best you can, and don't get hung up on the details. Listen to your music, enjoy it, and be proud that you can afford whatever you have. Your music, your life, your choices. This is good!

Good ones
They give a nice finish to the cable termination. Only complaint i have with them is it's good if there's a way to they could hold the cable.

Rightnow, if the cables are moved they would come out of the connector.
