The Onkyo HT-S590 audio system that I just purchased has a lot of great features, but one problem is that it comes with very thin speaker wires. So, I swapped the supplied wires for Monster 16g wires.
Unfortunately the speaker-wire push-in terminals on the back of the receiver have such small openings that it is very difficult to push in the larger speaker wires without having them fray, bunch up, etc. (I'm sure the terminals work fine with the ultra-thin wires that come with the system!)
Are there connectors you can buy to solder or crimp to the end of the speaker wires so that you have a cleaner, easier-to-insert prong or wire to push into the terminal?
If such devices are available, what are they called; and are they recommended, or do they cause more problems than they solve?
Thanks for helping a home-theater newbie!
