^^I don't really like Spade connectors myself, but from the sound of things they might be exactly what you need.

There are a couple other good Danish speakers out there, Dynaudio comes to mind and old vintage Dynaco's had a good following. B&O and Ortofon are both Danish although I'm not sure if B&O makes speakers these days...

VIFA is well respected, they make drivers for quite a few manufacturers, not quite as respected as SEAS in Norway but in the same ballpark at least.

Denmark for a small country has quite a solid pedigree for audio gear.

I wasn't aware that Dynaudio was Danish... Their line have received good reviews.

I won't be getting spade connectors after all... Locking banana plugs are the answer.

^^Those look much better than spade connectors, the locking feature should keep them in place no matter How loud you play Zeppelin and company.

Aside from my computers (usually with headphones), my factory car stereo that I listen to and the lame radio at work... this is my only other real source for l have for listening to music:

^^I actually like HTC, if I had to get a cell phone it would be on my short list.

I could send you a "care" package Lynch,,,I have the equivalent of a Hi-Fi store here in my basement.

^...in a computer set-up all you need is a capable pair of headphones, a good pair of speakers and a nice soundcard. In the audio hobby, matters can get out of hand easily.

I have a very nice sound card and my ADS 300's for my computer with a Yamaha 5.1 surround amplifier powering them George, they sound excellent not bad considering I bought them in 1979.

My brother is like Lynch, he only uses his PC for listening to music, but he bought a pair of "Audioengine" speakers and is completely impressed with them. Also doesn't hurt he bought a top of the line monster of an audio card as well.

My setup isn't the most spectacular. It's just a mish mash of components I acquired over the years. I have an Aiwa shelf system that dates to probably 1997. The volume knob and CD player no longer work and the tape player is atrocious. I basically use it as a receiver and for my Technics 6-disc changer, and my Audio Technica USB turntable, which by the way I haven't figured out the software for.

I have a Zune which I rarely use. and a lot of my music is live lossless audio which is stored in an external hard drive. So I play it on my computer.

For those of you on a budget, that do use your PC's extensively for listening to music I can Highly recommend these little beauties.

Even if you just use your onboard sound card they will sound excellent, you don't need a massive upgrade to get awesome results. My brother has owned a pair for 6 months and if I ever want a pair of powered PC speakers, Audioengine is what I'll buy. You can add a subwoofer later too if you want more bass, flexible, 30 day trial period and free shipping in the US, you can't go wrong with that approach.

...will be picking up 10 gauge Belden speaker wire for the two beasts.
