or
- Includes 4 pairs of banana plugs, which are meant for attaching to speaker wire and supplying a high-quality signal path from audio components like a speaker to an audio/video receiver, amplifier or other professional sound application.
- Compatible with bare wire, spades, or other banana plugs, and work with 8-18 AWG speaker wire. Connectors & crimping teeth are coated in corrosion-resistant 24K gold-plating for lasting, for secure fits with clarity, natural sonic accuracy and no distortion. A wider base minimizes shorting for maximum signal transfer, and a 2-piece screw-on design makes for reliable termination/reuse.
- Simply connect existing speaker wires to a banana plug through its bottom piece (step-by-step installation guide included). Self-crimping teeth make for easy one-time installs, and a low profile build only sticks out 1”.
- The heavy-duty plugs are color coded, distinguishing left from right to enable matching polarity. Fast-lock is a great plug-and-play alternative to using bare wire when connecting devices, taking away the hassle of crimping or soldering.
- Each plug has a female banana plug connector on the bottom, allowing you to hook up speakers to a single output.

It's kind of telling how hard it is to think of any. Fantasy/Romance hybrids tend to be very "retro" and often are used as excuses to retell the story of Cinderella or Pride & Prejudice...or to have your Big Strong Man bigger and stronger then a real human can be. Men tend to not fantasize about the strength and wealth of their lovers, and all but the most progressive women seem disconcerted by the idea of a man weaker then them.
The closest thing I can think of is the The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred. Fred is an accountant who is turned into a vampire, and falls for a badass member of a secret supernatural law enforcement agency.
The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells has a male lead from a matriarchal species where women are bigger and stronger. The love interest is a Queen.
Street Cultivation is teasing a possible future relationship with a women richer and stronger then the hero. Somehow I suspect the relationship will never materialize or will materialize after the hero becomes richer and stronger. (Which interestingly are the same thing in this universe)
Glory Road by Robert A. Heinlein sort of qualifies. The ending is a little bitter sweet, though.
The Matt Richter Series involves a zombie dating a vampire. It is a running joke that vampires are faster then a normal human while zombies are slower. There are scenes where he attempts to rescue someone vastly more physically powerful then him. Totally a comedy.
It's quite common in LitRPG to have female love interests who start out much stronger then the male protagonist but are later surpassed by the male lead. I can think of several if that is good enough.
I just finished The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant which was a lot of fun. If you buy it on kindle with added audible narration, it's only $9.

I've liked the Fred series by Drew Hayes . Though that could be because I’m an accountant. It’s not quite as reality tv type, but fun and I think unique in its own way.
The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant.
Fred honestly likes his job, and really wishes that people would leave him alone to do his work. Of course, the story conspires to shake up his very mundane (for a vampire) life. It's very much a young-adult fiction book and may be a bit childish for more adult tastes, but it can be entertaining with the right point of view.

It could make a great comedy. Have you ever read The Tales of Fred? I love books like this, it's about a vampire who is an accountant and is the most unassuming vampire ever. Next to Bill of course.
Check out Drew Hayes' The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant ant its sequels.
