Question: Do these plugs sag at all?  I'm new to Banana style plugs.  It looks like if they touch at all they will short out the amp.
Document: they look great, but since its mostly exposed metal, you have to be careful with each end. if they touch, it'll short out and trip the fuse on your amp. i'll probably have to wrap the ends in electrical tape of the right color.
I was not planning to originally use banana plugs for my speaker connections, however, when I saw these reasonably priced, well built banana plugs from Monoprice on Amazon, I changed my mind, and I'm really glad that I did. The banana plugs are solidly built and have great fit and finish. I don't agree with a previous review that you could potentially short circuit, that could happen even with any banana plug if you short them.
16 gauge wires are too small for thes Open Screw Type plugs. I got these to work by "folding" the wires on top of each other to make it thicker. I'm afraid they will slip out and touch another wire which would be disastrous.
My Denon AVR-2313 receiver has a significant distance between speaker posts plus I trimmed the bare wire pretty close so I'm not too concerned about a short. P.S. I used 16 guage wire but you could probably go a little thicker (14 guage) for a really good fit.
I bought these to use with my new Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers and they would not fit through the binding posts. TBH, these seem like a total waste of money when twisting speaker wire and inserting it through the binding posts worked just as well.
My stereo kept shutting down apparently from a short in the speaker wire connection. No matter how secure I made the wire to terminal connection the auto-protect circuit would kick in at some point. Banana Plugs to the rescue! These are quality plugs and I haven't had a shut down since!
I just bought a new receiver and decided to get some banana plugs. Not much to say, these are great quality plugs at an even better price, much cheaper than other "name brand" plugs that claim to give you a superior connection. They do exactly what they are supposed to do. Very easy to install and gives your overall setup a "clean" look (even though most people will never see the back of your speakers and receiver).
Great value for price. I'm using in my home theater system and it makes life much easier with banana plugs than bare wire
The Monoprice Speaker Banana Plugs are well made and the description on Amazon is accurate. The reasons I marked them down from 5* to only 3* are:1. The design is looking very good but since it is made almost entirely out of metal you could easily short circuit the speaker output potentially burning your amplifier.2. The screwed parts can relatively easily unscrew themselves - not the greatest designThe plugs still look great thou
These banana plugs are well made and provide a strong connection. The screws are solid and my speaker wires haven't come lose since I started using them ~2 months ago. I'm running 16 AWG Monster wire which I had to fold (double-up) to get a strong connection, but it wasn't a big deal. I think they would work best with 12-14 gauge wire. I'm happy with this purchase.
Answer: Not a fan of these styles.  The monster series bannana plugs are better.  It's becasue of the screw type.  These have tiny screws on the sides that don't pinch hard enough or strip the threads.  The monster series makes a better connection.  You spread out the wires and then the bottom and top part screw together making a much better seal.To answer your questions though, no there is no short with either of these.  The wires are all sealed inside the metalic tubes when you screw them together.
