Default Banana plugs.

I'm redoing my HT room at the moment and theres a few thing I want to change... for starters, I want to use some Banana Plugs on the receiver side to makes connections a little simpler and give it a nice little esthetic look to it.

I found a place called GLS Audio. They have a huge slection of BP's and prices seem good. The one I like is a safe-connect model, but I wanted some of your input on this GLS brand and on these safe-connects Vs. other types available.

Those look similiar to the closed screw type from Monoprice, except that the screw part is rubber. And at that price, they are about the same price for each pair as Monoprice currently. It should do the job fine. I don't know if you have them for your speakers already, but remember you'll need 28 (14 pairs) if you have a 7.1 set-up and 20 (10 pairs) for a 5.1 set-up.

Those seem fine. A lot of the members on here (myself included) use the ones from monoprice.com and they work great. Every so often they have them on sale for $0.97 per pair, most recently being a few weeks ago. Right now they're at $1.90 which is still a good price, and if you order 10-19 pairs, they're only $1.60 a pair

I'v looked at these GLS Audio connectors before. I'm debating on whether to get these, or wait and buy some Valab Speaker cables.

My .02, I bought the banana plugs from monoprice and they work great. Quick for unplugging and connecting speakers after moving them around. Plus, the speaker wire remains snug inside them. I recommend them.

I also bought my banana plugs from Monoprice, and am very happy with them.
But, those do look nice.
