Im fairly new to this home audio thing and I was wondering if someone could help me out.

Audioquest interconnect type 4s with silver banana plugs are being used. Am I doing something wrong?

I have never seen that type of banana before. Maybe do what was suggested and carefully bend then out a bit.Comment

Quick question......anyone have a preference on how to terminate in wall speaker wire to the back of plates. The plate i have accepts bare wire, banana clips, etc. I can't decide what would be the best. Here is a picture of the back of the plate:

Curious how many of you use bare speaker wire connections and how you deal with wire corrosion. I just replaced my speaker wires using 10 gage 8 foot runs with bare connections to both my amp and speakers and it sounds really good. How often do you think I need to cut back the wire to deal with corrosion?... -
I also posted part of this under the cables section but I wanted to hear directly from other Rotel 1080 owners
