Product Description
Speaker wire is made from copper wire that can corrode very quickly, rapidly deteriorating the performance of your cables and the overall performance of your system. To avoid this, always terminate your speaker wire with connectors. The kind of connector you need varies with the kinds of connectors on the back of your amp/receiver and your speakers. In many cases, the connectors will mandate Banana type plugs, and that's where the QL GMT-H Package includes two pair (4 connectors)

 Good ones May 22, 2008
They give a nice finish to the cable termination. Only complaint i have with them is it's good if there's a way to they could hold the cable.
Rightnow, if the cables are moved they would come out of the connector.
 Quick and easy April 23, 2008
First, while these are a Monster product they don't have the Monster price. They're the same price you'll find for connectors from companies you've never heard of - but you aren't sacrificing Monster quality.
That said, these are terrific. Very easy to install. Simply strip about 1/2 inch of twisted wire, insert, screw the top in place. I used them for both 12 and 14 gauge speaker wire with no problem at all.
I paid 19.97 here which is the same price that BestBuy sells them for in their store so there's no great savings on price. But, free shipping and no sales tax for me so I saved a few dollars and I wasn't in a hurry.
Perfect, elegant design April 18, 2008
OK, so I don't buy into all the hype about connectors or cables having an audible effect on sound quality. A good connection is a good connection, period. So why am I raving about these plugs? Simple. Because they have a rock-solid, elegant and simple design. I have tried a lot of different banana plugs, and usually they feel flimsy and tend to work themselves loose, or make finicky and insecure connections.
I am constantly tinkering with things and modifying poorly-engineered products to work better, but I cannot really think of any way to improve these little tanks. Hold them in your hand: They are satisfyingly heavy and rugged. Terminate a speaker cable with them and see who easy it is; just strip the cable end and screw them on by hand; no tools needed beyond a wire cutter and stripper; not even a screwdriver.
Tighten the nut down and admire how solid and fool-proof the resulting connection is. Plug them into your speakers or amp and appreciate how easy it is to see the polarity, and how satisfyingly the springy tips seat home in the sockets.
They pull out just as smoothly, too: Not too tight or too loose. The cables drape naturally out of their ends, and the plugs aren't too deep for tight spaces. The gnurled rubber grips are easy to grab and move, too.
And the price isn't even that bad, compared to the absurd prices of most good connectors. So yeah, these do the job. And that's the best praise I can give.
convenice at its best April 15, 2008
this is very convenient indeed. However, Im not entirely convinced over the price of this item, I think its bit over priced. If you are not gonna be disconnecting your system often, you could opt for the regular banana plugs and save some money which you would invest in cables.
They work great. March 14, 2008
I really liked they way these worked. The rear connect makes for a real clean look and no exposed wires. Very simple to do and makes plugging and unplugging speakers a snap. I just wish Monster would quit the hype because they do make some real good products but always seem to be overpriced. These would have been a 5 star if they would have been $12 to $14.
