dual banana plugs compatability with receiver: Or should I just get single banana plugs for the receiver?

You mean the speaker outputs, correct? I have the 605 which is last year's model as part of whatever the HTiB was back then. I tried some Monster dual-plugs and they did not fit. I ended up getting a whole bunch of single plugs from Monoprice for a fantastic price and taking the Monster ones back for a refund. The 7100 looks awesome. I wish I could upgrade :). The 605 only has two HDMI inputs and doesn't integrate with my Panasonic plasma like this one would. Oh well. Something is going to have to go component/optical so I can have all the switching via my receiver.

It's not worth contacting the manufacturer as it's pretty much an industry standard. A quick google search will find instructions on how to install. For instance: http://sewelldirect.com/articles/HTG-Banana-Plugs.aspxThere is even a youtube video to show you the two different ways to install.

You sure can. That's what I'm using and they work great. It takes a little extra time initially to connect the wires to the banana plugs, but after that it's easy.

Short Answer: NopeLonger Answer: Banana plugs are more convenient after you put them on but not required. We've got some speakers in our sun room and carport that are wired to my receiver's location in our living room; no banana plugs on those. I connected them to same inputs as the two tower speakers in our living room that I put banana plugs on.

I purchased some 'Banana Plugs' much like these: Soundsoul 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) 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.

I don't think so. Never used them with Klipsch speakers before at all.Banana plugs have a rotating barrel that adjusts the thickness of the plug. High-quality banana plugs come all rotated all the way so they are as thick as possible. Try to see if you can remove very carefully the black and red caps of the speaker to see what happens. In my case, I don't use banana plugs, so I use speaker wire #14 as is, and I'm very satisfy with the sound performance of my speakers set; Nothing wrong with that.

Yes you can use banana plugs. Actually it's te preferred method of connecting the speakers.

The pair I got do not have banana plugs. They have spring connectors. There is probably enough room there to use them, but that is probably not something you want to do.

No, those aren't compatible with banana connectors. You'd want to get either bare wire or one's that are compatible with spring-loaded inputs. Here are adapters for an example of what the end of a cable with spring-loaded adapters would look like. Silverback Flex Pin Connectors, For Spring-Loaded Inputs, 6 Pairs

The emotiva website stated it supports 5 different connection types. I'd check with their website to be sure. I'm using Sewell banana plugs myself

I purchased the spade plug and was really happy with the quality of the brand! Personally I went with the spade! My opinion It seems to have more of a solid connection once is connected to the receiver. Just make sure you use the right gage on your wire and you have a solid install on your spade plug. Now on the banana plug I wouldn't mind as well but if your going to be disconnecting and connecting after a while it might loose contact between the plug and receiver, but if your going to leave it connected most of the time it would be fine. But for me I rather have a solid connection to get the best results all the time. I hope this might help

By the way, I recommend: Sewell Direct SW-29751-6 Silverback Banana Plugs. Perhaps not perfect, but as close as you may get, for a great price.

I used the RCA plug, but if you dont have a RCA plugplug one of the banana plug into the center speaker. You will find that you dont need the center channel. I quit using mine quite a time ago. I am using good speakers and they work fine. Hope this helps.

One of my best friends have his whole Klipsch Reference Series Home theater speakers connected with banana plugs, since he made his installation last year, and it still working fine, so if you feel like it, go for it and get them.

I imagine that it could depend on which banana plug you are using but I did not have this problem. Make sure you remove the black and red plugs and that all parts are secure and the connection holes are free from obstructions. My banana plugs do not fit all of the way in, only about 3/4 of the way, is this what you are experiencing? The spring expansion of the plug itself is all that keeps it in place, it does seem a little slipshod but I have never had any problems with sound quality or spontaneous disconnects even though they pull out, easily, with a light tug.

The power for the amp is provided by a brick which is universal voltage (100-240V). The speaker connectors can screw onto bare wire. I did not try banana plugs...
