Are these speakers compatible with banana plugs?

Hello, the back of the speakers have posts and screw nuts to insert any cable you choose. I installed monster cables and my amp and speakers had the same setup. Very pleased with speakers. Ray

I have a new shuffle (and an old shuffle too) and am interested if these are compatible with these speakers.

Yes it accepts banana plugs. Regular Speaker wire without banana plugs will work, but I think bananas are a lot more convenient and provide a more solid connection. BTW, this is an absolutely phenomenal amp for the money.

I used banana plugs from speaker wire to receiver. I plugged wire directly to speaker.

These wires will work; they are designed for '3 way binding posts' which look like red/black circles on the rear of the speakers. The plugs on these wires go into the 'circles'; very easy! If your speakers only accept bare wire, the plugs on the wires easily remove by unscrewing revealing the bare copper strands. Your Onkyo has 3 way binding posts and are compatible with the banana plugs on the wires.

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.

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.

Yes you can. I am using my sewell silverback banana plugs on them...purchased thru Amazon as well

If the Sony uses banana plugs, there is no reason why these shouldn't fit. All banana plugs are universal size and shape. They would not fit 1/8", 1/4", RCA, or other audio plugs. If you don't know what kind of plug adapter your receiver uses, check the manual

I only used these for my Yamaha receiver. I am not sure if banana plugs will fit?

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

This adapter will not work with banana plugs. It is set up to work with up to six speakers (L, C, R, LS, CS, RS). I am using the adapter with 14 gauge wire with no issues.

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.

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

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.

Other than the banana plugs which seems to be slightly loose when plugged in, what other connectors are suitable?

Perhaps you are talking about 'BANANA plugs' which are made for regular two strand speaker wire (think lamp cord). The subs I've worked with all used the RCA plug to receive signals from the 'subwoofer-out' non-amplified port on the amplifier. If there is no sub port on amp, use the BANANA plugs or twist terminals in and out, to place subwoofer input from L&R; channels before the L&R; speakers. Either way Banana plugs are readily available. IF you are using outdoor type Public Address, concert sound stuff ( Peavey, etc.), then yes they all use 1/4" big plugs for rugged, easily repairable, simplicity.
