Now we have lost Maplins , I need a source for small pull-apart male-female low voltage connectors for speaker wires . We have two old ( but good ) Solarvox speakers in our lounge with wires buried inside the coving . Both protrude from the wall with about 8 inches of loose flex so that to disconnect ( i.e. for decorating) Her indoors has to hold the speakers up while I faff about with a screwdriver unscrewing the wires from small connectors . It would be nice to have some which just push together . Any ideas ? .

What are the connectors on the back of the speakers like? Short of replacing them all I can see you can do is screw a short length of speaker wire into the speaker terminals, with a banana plug/socket attached, the the opposite banana plug/socket on your tails from the wall.

One option... The basis of a wallplate for speakers but perhaps you could adapt to your needs (heat shrink over the business end). Then attach banana plugs to the leads from the speakers.
