Sorry I have not chimed in on this conversation for a while, but I have been busy crying all day because I have not been hearing my favorite instrument, "the triangle," the way it was meant to be heard, because of my stupid only 20kHz Axioms can not reach inaudible triangle! levels.
P.S. Wish me luck on finals this week.

Nicer binding posts? I've seen tons of them in my 20 years in the electronics business. When I first got my Axioms, I was highly impressed with the quality of the posts. I was expecting to see much cheaper ones at the prices we paid. I've used them with bare wire and banana plugs, they work great both ways. Sure, I've seen a few nicer ones, but not many.
Are you sure your bananas weren't compressed or worn out Spiff? You've got me very curious now. Can you post a pic of them? Maybe you got some from a bad production run. It could have been a machine or tool setup error on the batch that yours came from. Call Axiom, I'm sure that they'de send replacement post assemblies if you told them about it.

So, Snippy, where're you going to school and what're you studying?

Perhaps I'm spoiled. The only other pair of speakers I've owned are my Snell Acoustics Type K/II's and their posts are more solid and my bananas fit more snugly. Then before purchasing my M60's, I had a pair of Energy Veritas in my home for a week +, and those were nicer too. Now, granted, I know the Veritas are $1500 speakers, but the binding posts alone can't cost all that much more.

Spiff, I think you may have a wanky set of bananas, or you sort of got hit by statistical lightening and got an odd pair of binding posts. The gold plated 5 ways on all the Axioms I've owned have all been first rate.

Hate to dig up this thread (for various reasons) but Peter and I did notice that the binding posts between his M22s and my M50s were different. You could not use a wrench to tighten his (as they were round, like little barrels), while with mine, it was similar to a standard hex nut. (I mean, gold, thicker, etc, but the same basic shape). They also included a little wrench in with the feet and spikes!

I think the difference in the posts reflects the difference in age of the speakers. I have older QS8s, and the posts are round, like Peter's M22s. My M60s and VP150 are newer and have the hexagonal posts (with plastic wrenches).
