Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions To solder or not to solder banana plugs

I have a 35W electric iron in my "electrical" tool box, which is the wrong heat range for nearly everything... too hot for miniature electronics, too cold for big gauge work.

Also a 15W for the small stuff, and a handheld butane heated soldering tip for the big stuff - but these are always at home.

Wheelz,

Have you considered getting the non-solder plugs from Axiom? They are really very good. I ended up buying four myself.

I concur. I have them too and they're very nice.

Or just use bare wire, nothing wrong with that.

No, nothing wrong with bare wire. With all the speaker shoot-outs though, it's nice to have the bananas.

My comment was made for Wheelz, he doesn't have to have bananna pugs to have a good connection. Heck Tex I gave up on you a long time ago

Yes, and the connection is probably even better with just bare wires.

Don't give up on me yet. Remember that I have decades to go to accumulate your wisdom .

Why not just use bare wire connection?

I love the edit feature, ha ha lol

Or why not

wheelz, as Tex eluded, bananas are nice if you move the speakers around alot or you do speaker comparisons, much easier with the plug and play.

I too have the Axiom bananas and they are just like their binding posts where the speaker wire connects to them, very solid and clean connections.

Bare wire is probably the best connection as you have eliminated any possibility of connection problems except for that one connection itself.
