Can you use Banana plugs for these speakers?? I know that the preferred way to connect speaker wires to the receiver is with banana plugs, but can anyone tell me if the Onkyo speakers will accept banana plugs or would those just be connected directly...

Yes you can. I used banana plugs on the speaker wire that plugs into the receiver but not the speakers it self. You should buy thicker speaker wire too.

Dear Mr Nowak,Thank you for your interest in our products. If the devices require banana plugs, these are the best banana plugs available. If you need to use higher gauge speaker wire, we recommend using open screw plugs such as the ones at the listing available below.http://www.amazon.com/High-Quality-Copper-Speaker-Banana-Plugs/dp/B003D6P530/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1427226516&sr;=1-6&keywords;=monoprice+2943If there might be anything more we are able to assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A/V Guru: I was wondering if you could elaborate on the core differences between the Onkyo HT-S3300 and the Denon DHT-391XP. I currently only have an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box, and am looking for a system that can handle those two components as well as (which is the actual reason for getting the system) my music (via computer and Ipod). As this is the main reason for investing in a system, I would prefer to have a quality base setup. Looks like the Onkyo has a few more features on the receiver, and I was wondering if you could let me know why those are there (pretty naive on this whole subject, sorry). I see that the Onkyo has the "green, blue, and red" input cords like those that come from the Xbox, while the Denon does not. And the sony receivers systems in this price range seem to be much sleeker (but input wise more similar to the denon). So does it sound like I actually need all of the extra inputs that the Onkyo offers? And with all this in mind do you have recommendation

I am not sure. You can use banana plugs with your speaker wires to connect to a receiver that can connect to your computer speaker plug. But I'm not sure. I will say that my Fluance speakers are the best speakers I have ever owned for the price (my expensive Pioneer speakers are the best I've ever owned). Highly recommend buying the Fluance speakers!!!

Yes, you can use banana plugs to connect to these speakers. This is how I have wired up my system.

Yea its compleatly ohk to use the speaker wire you already have. But I would pay attention to the gage wire the onkyo system can handle. Because if you have to thick of speaker wire it won't fit. Plus this is a 7.1 surround sound system if you don't have the 7 speaker wires in you walls your not getting full listing experience.

no, you can use banana plugs to the receiver or bare wires it's just that banana plugs are convenient to use. Rca cables are for inputs like Cd, TV, mp3 players... etc.

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.

Yes, you strip some of the speaker wire and insert it through the middle of this banana plug. You need to be careful not to have stripped too much or it could contact something else and short out (or damage the equipment). Your receiver or amplifier needs to have female banana plug style connectors to plug into.

I am having trouble figuring out how to use banana plugs with these speakers. I removed the red and black caps, but as other have said the banana plugs barely go inside the holes.

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

They use a binding post arrangement which means you can use banana plugs but you don't have to. The binding post is first loosened then the wire is put through the hole in the side of the post and then you tighten down the post "nut" firmly to hold the wire. However a banana plug makes it easier to connect to reconnect speakers, and bare wire about once a year or so needs to have the ends cut off and new wire exposed because copper will oxidize and deteriorate the sound quality slightly whereas using a banana plug prevents that.

ANY info or input on properly setting up ZONE 2 on any Onkyo receiver would be helpful. I cannot get sound from my outdoor speakers. Volume control on receiver when in Zone 2 reads 00 and will not adjust. HELP!

Theses are passive speakers meaning they don't have an internal power source, most of their speakers do And are meant for computer applications. The onkyo has plenty of power to drive these

Yes you can connect banana plugs into every speaker output of this receiver. . .

Yes, you could use these on a 2 channel receiver. I have a Onkyo 7.1 receiver 5 series and I am amazed by the sound of these speakers. I plan to upgrade to a Denon or another Onkyo to get more power out the speakers. I would say at least 100 watts per channel I am only at 85 watts per channel.

If the question is in regard to speaker wire connections, these speakers take an open speaker wire. I would purchase a set (4) of banana plugs from Amazon, Home Depot or an electronic store. There are many different variations that boast different quality sound so that in itself is a decision. See the video below for a quick video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybRqeCkgXWsIf the video is in regard to mounting, I would suggest you mount them to whatever you are mounting the projector to. The bracket shown has a set of 8 elongated holes, to accommodate for smaller or larger mounting applications. The speakers come with stainless steel screws that work well with wood, make sure to use a pilot hole so not to splinter the wood.
