I used similar little potting boxes (though I confess that I didn't know that's what they are called.) Same reason: reduce size and weight, because the slim 20 AWG silver wire I was using wouldn't hold too much. I also used good silver solder and silver plated spades from Audioquest (?).
My amp end is a sigle R-C cascade, but still hooked up to both speaker cable posts. I never bothered to test out one for each cable and wonder if that might have made any difference.
I used the Microsorb recommended originally by cdc and didn't bother damping further.
I also surrounded the R-C with the grounded TI-shield. Mine don't cover the sides as well, but that was a very small difference from yours.
Yours do look more elegant and I appreciate all the careful trouble you went through, plus your detailed explanations and pix.
As you know, mine are grounded by 12 AWG wire to the power box, unlike yours. I run those through an updated AC rated version of the R-C filters of Al's design into my power strip. Works great this way for me.
Al calculated the values of C and R for me. It was difficult measuring my cables' values!
