I bought the Superior Electric 5-way Hex Nut gold plated binding posts for my ST35 project.
They also come in nickel and tin plate, and 6 colors; black, red, white, yellow, blue, green.
The quality is excelent. I like the hefty hex nut so I can use a socket or nut driver on those 14 or 12 ga speaker wires. The gold ones run $5.74 each at Newark.
The Superior Electric part number is BP30 with an R,B,BL,GN,WT,Y suffix for color. The Newark PN is 35F3006 for red and 35F3008 for black. The threaded end is 8-32 and about an inch long.
