One more question...will it take spades as well?? I am trying to clean up my wires in the back...right now they are just bare and I have my B&W's bi-wired with 12 or 14ga wire so its a mess. What I am wondering is what can I use to get this done...could I use a banana and a spade plug on one terminal on the back of the reciever...so there would be on one binding post a banana and a spade...that would inturn run the + on the high and low of one speaker??

mark -

which banana plugs are you referring to? the single or double posted type?

for my onkyo, the binding posts in the back had non-standard spacing, so the paired plugs (that are already "clamped" together) would not work. i had to buy the single-post style.

your model may be different...not sure.

Well I was looking at the Monster cable banana plugs HERE they take up to one 12 gauge wire or maybe two 16 gauge...so I am wondering if I should do one 12 gauge to my B&W 602's or should I try to biwire them and use two 16 gauge wires? The run will be about 12'

yeah...those should work perfectly! since those are single-post style, you'll have no issues there!
