I just came home with 2 XLR microphone cables that I will use as speaker

I am not sure of your situation but I like the right-angle designed
connectors. Neutrik has has an RX series of these with 'improved
chuck-type' strain relief 'as part of their specifications. A 90
degree design allows the cable to hang down neatly rather than
'droop' ,seems to get it out of the way of tripping accidents and most
importantly the 90 deg.design gives it a solid 'handle' to withdraw
and insert.
Funny,the web-site says 'lifetime- 1000 mating cycles'. On a thread
years ago I was discussing this in connection with our Church practice
to regularly connect/disconnect(mating cycle sounds better!) choir and
table mics. 20 yrs is over the 1000 cycles!
