Question about speaker hook up.

[df4801]

Just had my speakers (paradigm monitor's) hooked up and the guy who did it just used the exposed speaker wire and screwed it under the cap on the speaker.

Is there a better connection? Would I notice a difference in mostly movie listening?

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with bare wire connections and you won't notice any sound difference if you were to use a different connection. That said, you can use banana plugs, spades, or pins if you like. Banana plugs are the most convenient because you can connect and disconnect quickly.

There is no better connection that wire directly in contact with the post, but bananas are a LOT easier to use.
