I know there are on-line electronics places out there. This is one type of website I haven't been able to find. Where do you buy electronics gear at commodity prices on-line?

Specifically, I am looking to reconfirgure some cabling. I have two pair of 100 foot, high quality speaker cables with bananna and 1/4" jacks. My amps and speaker cabs are all dual configured with either bananna and Speak-Ons or 1/4" and Speak-Ons. I am planning to cut down at least one pair of 100" cables to shorter lengths and go all Speak-Ons at all cable ends. BUT the local shops want about $12 to $15 for each connector! Certainly these are very low cost items. Anybody know who might have 'em for a whole lot less???

I'm also curious about Gear shops that may carry various cross overs, horns, speakers, etc. Thanks!

I just looked in my Studiospares catalogue and they's got 4 pole speakon cable connectors at £3.30 and the coupler (which you'll need if you ever need the full 100m again) for £3.99. Translated into dollars and adding shipping to the USA (Studiospares are German + English) I don't know if that works out cheaper.

Have you tried a Google search? There must be a US supplier who'd be cheaper on the postage. But Studiospares will happily ship anywhere, at cost, by your choice of courier, it says here....

Hey.. Google gave me
This
and This
and .... well, you get the idea - lots more. The first one didn't have bad prices, either.

I searched Google for [speakon connector price]. Try it, or similar. Have fun!
