Default Binding post question

I agree with both of you, The problem is I don't feel like sending the Amp back and not having an amp just to get the same original binding post that I don't feel adequately are able to support torque and weight of cables this heavy. When I say loose I mean a couple of them can be slowly rotated. I believe the entire shaft is rotating with the spade part sandwiched and tight and the ring part inside the amp also sandwiched and tight on that same shaft. Should have taken a picture. One thing to note they do sound better than the cables they replaced , and they only loosened up during the new install. So this is more concern with a potential problem maybe down the road. Also wasn't crazy about seeing 14 AWG wire going from output stage to posts.
