What are the hookups on these? Will I be able to use banana plugs?

It does not appear to accept banana plugs. I guess you would call it a binding post where you wrap the speaker cable around it and tighten the plastic nut on top. There are actually 2 sets on each speaker which are jumped together. You can remove the jumper and separately drive high/low frequencies from 2 different amps.

I'm saying with almost 100% accuracy, Yes. There is also a crossover, so why wouldn't they work.

I use standard 1/4 inch banana plugs. I picked up several packs from Amazon and they work on all my audio equipment. If necessary, contact the people at Emotiva. I have spoken with them on several occasions and have found them to be most helpful and friendly. Enjoy your unit.

The speakers are designed to accept pin plugs, not the thicker banana plugs. Monoprice sells the pin plugs and they work great.

Banana plugs are not absolutely necessary. You can just do the bare wire install. As for performance, I doubt you will be able to tell the difference. What matters most here is the type of rating of the speaker wire that you use. I used the 16-gauge variety and my system sounds great. I originally ran out of the 16-gauge speaker wire and bought some cheap thin one at walmart only to find out that there was hardly any sound coming out of one of my satellite speakers. Good luck with your system.

IMO if you can use banana plugs you should. I find it hard to believe that is any really substantive difference in sound quality unless the banana plugs are very loosely connected.

Yes I can, I used them to connect my speakers, and works good, make sure your speakers have banana connectors.!!!

Yes you can connect banana plugs to every speaker output on this receiver. . .

Yes,you just have to twist off the banana plugs and use the pin connectors if they are too big to fit,but they should fit

I purchased some 'Banana Plugs' much like these: http://www.amazon.com/Connector-Banana-Plugs-Screw-Black/dp/B0093F4ROI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357572009&sr=1-3&keywords=banana+plugs+for+speakers They are simple to affix to your speaker wiring and will plug into the fittings on the rear of the Sony unit with ease. Directly wiring the terminals is possible, but tiring and difficult. The plugs are the way to go.

These banana plugs actually a very standard for any banana plug. The section that actually fits into the receptacle is 3/4 of an inch, so if the port on your unit is shorter than that, you will need to gauge if that will meet your needs. Best regards, Sewell Direct.

In short...NO. Spring loaded connections are not the same as banana plugs. Here is what you need: Monoprice 1 Pair of High-Quality Copper Speaker Plugs - Pin Screw Type (105975) or a connector like it...

The speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire.

Red and white "plugs" are not plugs at all. They are RCA ports. They are for these cables: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-1-5ft-Premium-22AWG-Cable/dp/B003L1717K Banana plugs will need ports that look like these: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81qQQnG6zJL._SL1500_.jpg (The red and black ones on the right side in the "speakers" box) RCA are the red and white ones on the left side in the "Video/Audio In" box.

They are able to hold banana plugs so the speaker wire you uss will be completely up to you. I use Monster Ultra Series THX 1000 Speaker Cable with Monster Tips 15 ft. pair Speaker Cable (ULT S1000MT-15/15) and the sound is very clear and precise.
