MiniRock,
I tried attaching the cables in this way, but it just looked and felt like a poor connection. Appears to me a 3/8" spade would fit and provide a better connection. Maybe I am just being overly picky, about the whole thing. (I worked for an electrician for 4 years while in school and attaching a spade connection in this manner just rubs the rhubarb the wrong way.)
Also, the back of one of my speakers (Right front) is semi exposed to the doorway coming into my great room. Although most my friends would probably never notice how the ¼” spade was connected, a few of them would definitely notice. The back of the HT system is exposed to the same doorway, it is the main reason I am using nice terminated cables. I bought Bluejean cables for the rest of the audio and video connections. I just wanted everything to look nice and of course be functional.
I will call Axiom this morning and I am sure they will work with me. But if they don’t, well it’s not hard to remake the ends of the cables.
Take care,
Del
