Heh..I've already got these Monster speaker cables so I figured I'd make the best of em. I can screw on spades, bananas or a thingy with a piece of gold wire on the end. Spades seems like the most contact of the three and I can get a set for both wires for around $20.
I got some parts express 12ga 2 conductor speaker wire (100') for $20 or so for the surrounds.
I'm actually insane enough to have made my own speaker cables Jon Risch style - using Belden 89259 and crimping bananas for a good cold weld. I should A/B test them with plain 'ol 12Ga and the Monsters and see if I can tell a difference. Made my own interconnects out of the 89259 also but my soldering skills aren't so good so I don't trust them.....
