Pre-Attached Banana Plugs - Blu-ray Forum

...why?!

You'll end up paying for pre-cut lengths of wire, and end up paying a lot more. They really couldn't be easier to install.

Amazon does have some pre-cut lengths along with banana plugs to answer your question, but I really thing that's a waste.

Only thing you need is wire strippers, and honestly you can even get away with not getting those if you want. They're well worth the small investment though.

It is very easy to attach a variety of different types of banana plugs to 12 gauge or 14 gauge wire from Monoprice.com or elsewhere. That is a lot cheaper.

Just in case you are wondering, there are much cheaper pre-cut wires available. Monster is not a good source. Check these:

Remember that the CableSimple price is for one speaker. You need to order two.
