Several years ago when I started to rewire my 5.1 Home theater I knew that I had to replace the terrible banana plugs that my installer used to connect the speakers to the AV receiver. I researched a number of options and decided on Sewell’s Deadbolt banana plugs. They are simplicity itself. And once installed they provide a very secure connection. Most recently I used them to simplify connections in a very simple stereo set-up in my finished basement. Again, simple to install and simple to plug in to my receiver. The Deadbolt banana plug is a great plug at a terrific price.
