connectorwiring
I'm currently using 3-position JST connectors with two of the wires cut off, but this is unsatisfying. The 3 position JST is also bulkier than I'd like, and has lots of "barbs" and corners to catch on things, which is undesirable for my application (wearable electronics.)
The connector will be carrying signal at 5V, so the current requirements are low.
Have you considered something like a good ol' fashioned DIN plug? They're old hat, but that also means they're proven technology.
How would that sort of connector fit in with the scheme of things?
Phantom power, as I understand it, runs at about 48VDC, max, and XLRs aren't rated to stand off 500 volts, so that's not a viable solution.
If you need frequent connection and disconnection, my druthers would be to opt for terminal blocks on the speakers which would accept the stripped and twisted ends of the cables.

I would go for single pole "bullet" connectors. Common among RC hobbyists as a connector between battery pack and system. To make them more streamlined you could apply some heatshrink tube.
