Try Amazon.com and add the Banana Plugs yourself. It's not difficult.

I'd like 3 sets at 24' lengths.

Good work on the cables man. You might really have a business angle on these. Something worth looking into if you can.

I asked PE and he says any works fine, but the 1/4 size doesn't stretch as much and hides the white underneath (not his exact words).

You mean the 1/2". The 1/4 will be tight and show the white jacket through.

yes, 3/8 would probably be "ideal" but the price difference was so small I decided to use 1/2" instead. the 1/2" relaxed is 1/4", and it expands to 3/4" if you want it to.

Has anyone tried any other speaker wire? Anything good out there that would be a step up, still in the 12AWG?
