I'm sure you are all familiar with those little clamp thingies to hold the
speaker wire into a hole? The question is why are they so bad at connecting
to anything.
I was lying in bed the other night and was conscious of the stereo image
moving about. After fiddling with all the plugs and sockets around the amp
and sources, it only left the speakers, and sure enough, just touch the
wire, apparently firmly clamped into the hole by the spring and the volume
goes up and down, Trying the other speaker, it was the same.
I think I would if the speakers came apart do away with these useless
connections and put some banana sockets or terminals in.

But was the bare wire clamped or did you manage to
clamp mostly insulation with just a couple of strands
of bare wire making contact ?.

No it was definitely the wire, which seems to have been tinned at the ends.
I did wonder if a crimped on gubbins with a gold plated end bit in the hole
might work better, but that is basically saying this is crap lets make it
slightly less crappy.
