Recently I decided to replace my rear left & right channels (old sony bookshelf surrounds) w/ an old pair of Jamo A210 surrounds. Plugged in the cabling & no sound. Apparently the connectors broke.
Took them apart & discovered an awful design. Apparently it was relying on a strange pinching mechanism of a plastic stud (secured via a semi-sticky adhesive -- enough to allow the stud to be rotated by a screwdriver) to a copper looking arc-shaped contact. I am in awe that this design ever made it to manufacturing.
I used my poor soldering skills to hard-wire the speaker cable & all is good, but I had to share this. Anyone else have similar experiences?
