Recommendation for speaker cable? I bought the Sewell cable with banana plugs and it didn't seem to like them--too thick for the connectors?

I use inexpensive Black Dual Banana Plugs, MCM Part #: 69-695 at MCMelectronics.com

I used 16ga. Speaker wire that came on a reel. I did not use any connectors just plains ends connected to speaker and receiver. Works great.

Yes, it accepts banana plugs, and they work better than regular speaker wire. Although fastened properly, the speaker wire sometimes comes loose somehow and drops the connection between the speaker and amp. Banana plugs on the other hand, give me a solid connection

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 connectors are banana plugs, but you can use bare wire with them as well.

No, bare wires are fine, unless you prefer the convenience of using plugs to connect and disconnect the speaker wires. How often do you do that? The terminals are designed to secure bare wires. I bought a box of banana plugs and wind up returning them unopened.

The gap down the centre of the speakers would be wide enough for this, I believe. It depends on the thickness of the housing of the cable. I run Sewell Slverback 12 guage through them, and these are pretty bulky, but they fit easily. Hope this helps

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

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

If your speakers and your receiver both support banana plug connectors (they're usually black and red in color and require the connector to be pushed in) the cables will work just fine. You'll need two sets, one pair for each speaker.

I used the 12 gauge wire with banana plugs on these speakers. They keep the speakers sounding neutral and precise.

No. While the connectors might do what you want in theory, the cable is not speaker cable. You want something specifically designed to work with amplifiers and speakers.

Mine go in about 3/4 of the way. Everything seems to work OK. I think it is a matter of the wide point of the jack making good contact with the receptacle, which is true in my case. I used the Cable Matters plugs: Cable Matters 7 Pairs, Closed Screw Banana Plugs for Speaker Cable

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

No, unfortunately those connections are thinner than this plug. You will need to buy pin type connectors. I took a brief look at Sewell directs website and it only shows pin type connectors that are not connected to speaker wire. For reference and not as a suggestion, this is what you are looking for Original Monster Cable Clear Jacket - High Performance Speaker Cable - 10 ft. pair - 3.04 m.
