I have Poiema SC's with spade ends and need to attach a nice banana adapter to the ends.  Who makes a nice quality device?

BRM,

While I don't think these are up to Poiema standards, they might work:

I am testing some amps this week and just need to make a better connection.  Had the cables and the amps just showed up.

Pretty darn nice for the sale price.  Not sure they'll dethrone my Pass, but very nice hybrid amp.  Lots of body and soul for 190 watts in each monoblock.  Cute too.

My Salks.

I wanted to see if the hybrid design was tasty and they are.  But I have the Pass back on now and it is killer.

I think if my speakers were more efficient the Hibachi grills would fair better.  Paul G. is great to work with.

But there were a few tunes where the little monos tripped on the bass passages.  I really like the air these give off.  There's just a single tube in these little guys but they do have some nice body.

I know the gains are different as I have had to use 2 different volume levels but I may try bi amping just for grins.

Tom was going to drop off his tube amp on his way to the airport but I already had these.  I get so impatient.
