They look good. Can you take a picture of them apart? If it isn't too much trouble.

Here's the link to them. Those are nice looking banana plugs, but too much $$$ for what they are and do.

The ones you linked are 8mm which should be fine. PE sells 8, 9mm etc..

i mean that it doesnt even fit into the cable pants. i ended up ordering these and canceled the 8mm order

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=082-782

i think these will be a better fit

Hey, it's not my auction so I can't control the price. But I'm pretty sure these kits were more than $15 when sold direct from Emotiva and that didn't include shipping. I know of one other AVS forum member who bought a handful of kits when I told them about this auction and they successfully made a lower bid.

I hope you guys noticed there is a "Make Offer" option right there.

Thanks for sharing the info Vaison.......I should be able to have all my speaker wires sporting Emo plugs.





Cheers!

I did make an offer. Still too much for what they are and do. I'm going to go with Sewell Deadbolt banana plugs.. I'll be able to do all my 7 speaker wires for less than $50 dollars.

I purchased 3 kits from Emotiva. $5 each in 2011.

What's the differences between the Emotiva plugs and the GLS Audio locking plugs? Is it primarily aesthetics?

I just looked back at old notes and I believe they were selling direct from Emotiva toward the end of last year for $8.99. I think I got confused thinking it was more because my order was for two kits at $17.98. My bad. I guess if people want them badly enough, they will get them. Supply vs. demand of a discontinued product. I went with Sewell Pro Maestro once the Emotiva were gone and I think they look pretty good.

I offered to pay $9 for all 7 of them to do my 7.1 set up, but apparently the lowest he'd go is $11.50. I'm thinking of going with the Sewel deadbolt banana plugs.

So, here is a picture comparing the 3/8" flextech on the left, and the off brand from install_depont (ebay seller) speaker wire sleeve cover. Both of them are of the same quality. I would say they are 100% equal. However, the non branded one width is a bit bigger as you can see on the picture. Just as a reminder you can buy 100FT of the non-techflex brand for $25 dollars shipped. Compared to TechFlex being 25FT for about $10.00.

No it's not lose. I will definitely buy more of the non-brand for future usage. With KnuKonceptz speaker wire pants. I didn't like the Parts Express speaker wire pants since they are short.

What type of speaker wire, the one with a rubber sleeve or just regular clear speaker wire? I think it should work fine. I used 1/2" for my front 3 speaker, and it was a little bit lose, but not by much. I did the rest with 3/8, and it fit snug for 12 gauge CL2 monoprice speaker wire.
