Decent quality jacks actually
have quite large contact areas.


Do they?, anyone know just how much?...


I can't see how you could do an all round wrap like say on an XLR?


Or say not like on a Speakon ...

And whilst we're on connectors not intended for purposes, the XLR is a good
example of another signal connector that has been pressed into service as a
speaker connector.
