Yes indeed, a 1nF capacitor connected directly across the output of an
amplifier can easily cause instability if that amplifier is not
unconditionally stable.

Absolutely. The idea that anyone might ever disconnect a cable from a
speaker is totally unthinkable.

Here's how it goes. You use spade terminals on the speaker cable. The
cables are heavy duty, with plenty of spring in them. Even with the
screw terminal wound up tight, it is really easy for the cable to
exert enough sideways pull to slacken it. The natural spring of the
cable then flicks it clear of the binding post. I've seen it happen
more than once.
