So, What nice output terminals are out there for the Loudspeaker connections on amplifiers. I'd like something fairly isolated/touch proof, will take bare wire, spades and 4mm plugs... and reasonably priced.
Cliff terminals have been my go-to, they are cheap and seem fairly well made. I'd love to find a stash of WBTs-0705s for pocket change. But what else is out there that I'm missing. Ideally sub £5 a terminal, but I will stretch if its worth while.
Please show me what is out there that I'm missing?

Binding posts, jack socket or speakon.
I have always used jacks but they can short out if you plug in when amp is live.

I remember my first outing with my mobile disco.
Night was going well and then I tripped over speaker cable pulling it out of the jack socket.
Sound went dead. I thought I had blown the amp.
Luckily the design had a fuse in the output of the amp and just that was blown.
Popped in a new fuse and sound was back on again.
Speakon are a bit bigger and clunky but will probably take a good yank to break them.
