The nickel 3-circuit Neutrik plug is NY231. 2-circuit is NYS226.  
The 3-circuit jack is NYS240. Add BG suffix for gold contacts, 
black handle.  

The Switchcraft cable-mount nickel-plated 2-circuit jack is #125. 
The mating 2-circuit plug is #750. 

Since you're building it yourself, you might prefer to use RCA 
plugs and jacks for your speakers. The Switchcraft cable-mount 
jack is #3503. The "RF" version of their male RCA is a #3507. The 
audio version is a #3502. With an A suffix, it's nickel. AAU 
suffix is nickel handle, gold contacts. ABAU suffix is black 
handle, gold contacts. The Neutrik cable-mount nickel-plated RCA 
jack is NYS372P. The Neutrik male RCA plug is NYS352.  

Neutrik is a first class connector mfr based in Lichtenstein. I 
know their management and have been to their factory. Their "EMC 
XLR" is based on my design concept, and they paid me for it. :)  
Like Switchcraft, the other major audio connector company based in 
Chicago, they're distributed worldwide. 

Here's a good pro/semi-pro audio vendor located in Madison, WI. I 
know their owners, husband and wife, good people. Many years ago, 
I had a sales job competing with them. :)  They sell both Neutrik 
and Switchcraft.

B&H Photo, Markertek, and Sweetwater are also good sources of 
parts like this.
