Which speaker cable connector is better - Neutrik Speakon or 1/4" plug?
I'm looking to hook up speakers to my amp and on one end I'll Neutrik Trs need the banana connector but on the other end of the speaker cable I have a choice of using 1/4" or Neurtrik Speakon connections to the speaker. Which of those two connections is better and why? Incidently I'm looking to get a 12 gauge cable too. Thanks.

Probably around 16 gauge. Maybe 14 gauge if the insulation isn’t too heavy. The problem is getting the complete cable through the rubber boot and into the connector. If the wire and insulation together creates a cable that’s too heavy it’s very difficult to do. Unless you’re going a fairly long distance, there’s no real need for a large cable.
Yes there are Speakon to 1/4 inch adapters:http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/VTG-NA4LJR-NEUTRIK-SPEAKON-F-ADAPTER?sku=336313

The best/cheapest place I have found (and purchased the exact same items you are looking for) is E-bay..
Comparing the available watts between 8 ohms and 4 ohms helps evaluate the quality of construction and power supply.Those are good specifications’ indicating the amplifier has a large power supply. The BEST amplifiers “double down” meaning the available watts into 8 ohms doubles into 4 ohms. The VERY BEST doubles again into 2 ohms. Typical inexpensive receivers with inadequate power supplies will be rated 80 watts into 8 ohms and 105 into 4 ohms – not even close to doubling.You could use any speaker you wanted with that amplifier.Have you listened to Martin Logan or Magnepan panels speakers? I think they are the ‘best’. They are inefficient 4 ohms speakers – that make beautiful music.That amplifier would be perfect for them. Martin Logan and Magnepan speakers are based on different technologies but both sound very different to paper cone speakersMartin Logan electrostatic speakers are easier to find. They can be found at independent audio solons and Magnolia stores. If used speakers are acceptable my favorite speaker under $2500 is the discontinued Aerius. Magnepan’s are available only at independent audio solons and much harder to find. Magnepan has a web only special on their least expensive speaker – a 60 day money back guarantee and 100% credit toward better models for one year. Personally, I would travel to the closest store and listen prior to purchasing.Once you’ve heard these speakers you’ll never be satisfied with box speakers and paper cones again.Good Luck and Have Fun.
Here’s a technical information page on the connector.It says 12 AWG or 10AWG
Neutrik makes both single and combo connectors the latter of which accepts both xlr and 1/4″. Just make sure to get the right one.
