	PA - or hifi cabs? For hifi you definitely need proper gold or platinum plated connectors. Otherwise, speakons are pretty much the standard these days.

This wasn't a big thing when we were all using 100W speakers but once you start getting into 1000s of watts it becomes a safety issue. Speakons also deal with cables with larger CSAs as required by speakers with larger power capacity. Finally, they can deal with 4 core or 8 core cables making set up simpler.

	Although the nlt4mp-bag is a good choice, i personally prefer the nl4mpr.
	If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
