Using a spare section of wire, practice cleanly removing the insulation without fraying the wire. Don’t twist the wires, just slide them straight in. I wouldn’t expect any trouble with two #14 wires.

Great suggestion!  I’ll try that!  Thanks!

These were suggested, but out of stock.  I’m looking for something similar.

I’ve not used any to suggest an alternative to you, but maybe others here who have, will chime in. 👍

Maybe use a 2-way speaker selector with impedance protection/matching, or if that’s not preferred, then go for ‘stackable’ 4mm banana plugs instead. Try Amazon, or other reputable sites online.

Yes. I’m wiring 4 Sonos speakers to an Amp.  Using this wire;

So you’re connecting speaker wire to a Sonos Amp?

What size wire are you using?

What adapter? As far as I know, all Sonos adapters are either RCA or 3.5mm jacks. 

I’m using these.   Very hard to get 2 wires in one hole.  
 

 

Those are certainly banana clips, as I mentioned in my reply here.

 

 

Or something like this, perhaps🤔?

Maybe use a converter that fits both the output and the input.
