An Inexpensive, Smart, Proven Way to Terminate Speaker Wire: AudioQuest Crimp BFA Banana Connectors Offer Ideal Contact Area and Pressure
AudioQuest Crimp BFA Banana connectors are an inexpensive, lightweight, and excellent way to terminate speaker wire. The Crimp BFA is a thin, heavily plated brass sheet that is rolled into a heavy copper collar. When inserted into the binding post, the high-tensile strength of the brass presses back against the binding posts, creating a large contact area and pressure.
The Crimp BFA is available with a heavy silver plate or a heavy gold plate. Sonically, the silver offers a bit more speed and resolution, while the gold imparts a bit more warmth and roundness of tone.
Designed for lightweight to midweight cables, the Crimp BFA should not be used with heavier cables.
