Do these speakers accept banana plugs?

no they don't... i haven't had a problem hooking them up, however the thicker the gauge the more troublesome it will be

Yes, I believe the speaker connection accommodate either banana connectors or just stripped speaker wire.

Yes, you can use banana-clips. Also, just for your information, these speakers also have the capability for bi-amping. You will notice that these speakers have two sets of binding posts linked together by a jumper. (If not bi-amping ...leave these jumpers in place) The bi-amping feature allows you to connect two separate amplifiers. One for the upper frequencies and a second connection for the lower frequencies. This capability is only found on high-end speakers.

Bananas also work for connecting speaker wires to the 551R. There is a red or black plastic plug in the "banana hole" you'll need to pot out to make room, but that's no big deal. (In Europe, some AC plugs resemble bananas, hence the regulation that requires the plugs.) I hope this is helpful. Dick from Spearit Sound

Yes. I have one pair of speakers with pinch type connections in my system. You can remove the banana plug, strip the wire some more if necessary, twist the wire to keep it from fraying, then insert it into the pinch connector. Worked great for me.

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.

I am having trouble figuring out how to use banana plugs with these speakers. I removed the red and black caps, but as other have said the banana plugs barely go inside the holes.

One of my best friends have his whole Klipsch Reference Series Home theater speakers connected with banana plugs, since he made his installation last year, and it still working fine, so if you feel like it, go for it and get them.

Banana plugs are not necessary for the main speaker connections, but you can use them if you have them. You can use just straight speaker wire. The only exception is the subwoofer. Only for that speaker will you need an audio pin cable.

Yes, it accepts both banana plugs or regular wire. If you have banana plugs already, I'd certainly use them!

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.

Not sure why you couldn't They have terminals on the back for stripped wire connection or banana plugs Only concern would be the speakers are rated at 130 watt

They have the connectors that you press in and push the exposed copper into...you could probably push in a banana plug if you needed to and get a connection, but I don't. I use these in my smaller room set up and I have banana plugs for the receiver end of all the cables that I cut, but I didn't bother installing them for the speaker end.

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. http://www.amazon.com/SilverbackSL-Gold-Connectors-Spring-Loaded-Inputs/dp/B00B1V0CRI/

I use standard 1/4 inch banana plugs. I picked up several packs from Amazon and they work on all my audio equipment. If necessary, contact the people at Emotiva. I have spoken with them on several occasions and have found them to be most helpful and friendly. Enjoy your unit.

I'm not familiar with your speakers, and I know of any that come with cable if your speakers have a double connect (back) one indicating +&- with holes they will work, these cables are designed to be pushed into holes (banana connect) I hope this helps.

No. You can use regular speaker wire. Banana plugs are just more convenient and sound better.
