Wall faceplates for speaker connections

    I'm refurbishing an old house at the moment and getting the electrician to wire for speakers. I don't want bare cable coming out of the wall. I've seen faceplates with binding posts on amazon, but just wondering if there might be a more economical option? Ideally one that I can source locally. Any suggestions?

    A few manufacturers do modules that fit into standard switch size plates that have brushes in them this means you can cover the cables with a faceplate the size of a single light switch and the brush will allow the cable from the speaker to pass thru into the back box and the connection will be hidden. Click have these in their range and I think MK but not too sure. the plates needed are easily got they have a standard 50mm by 50mm hole these are sometimes called euro plates and can take 2 50mm by 25mm modules, the modules can usually be mixed and matched and I would imagine the brush ones are quite cheap as they are very simple but would probably have to be ordered in by a wholesaler.
