Does this use banana plugs or bare speaker wire?
60363
Bare speaker wire, although I never attempted to use banana plugs on this but I believe the holes are too small.
60364
It uses bare speaker wire. The speaker posts are spring loaded to hold the wire.
60365
The speaker plugs are spring loaded, so use bare wire. 12 or 14 AWG works well.
60366
It uses bare speaker wire. Push in the spring-loaded "knob" and insert the wire into the hole at the top of the knob, then release.

Bare speaker wire, in metal spring-loaded terminals. They are quite nice and secure, as you thread the wire through the top of the post.

Short Answer: NopeLonger Answer: Banana plugs are more convenient after you put them on but not required. We've got some speakers in our sun room and carport that are wired to my receiver's location in our living room; no banana plugs on those. I connected them to same inputs as the two tower speakers in our living room that I put banana plugs on.

It has only wire and two set of cable rubber "socks" no banana plug included. I was mislead and have to buy the plug myself via some local store here.

Attaching the wires is very simple, just get the right speaker wires strip the ends at the appropriate length and attach the banana plugs using the color codes (Red-to-red, Black-to-black). You can use your fingers to fasten wires to these banana plugs. Turn the tip anticlockwise for gap and clockwise to tight the wire.

Buy Banana plug if you want them: http://www.amazon.com/Soundsoul-Connector-Banana-Plugs-Screw/dp/B0093F4ROI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391610542&sr=8-1&keywords=banana+plug Or just use your wires as they are... the binding posts will also accept bare wire.

only cheap speakers come with rca connections. i have the 75T model that uses the same 5-way connectors that are used on the 65T. unscrew the terminals to insert bare wires in the side, then screw them back down. the best way is to pop the small plugs out of the end of the connectors and insert wires with banana plugs. the terminals must be screwed all the way down before inserting banana plugs. wires with banana plugs are expensive, so i use 14 guage speaker wire and install the banana plugs myself. i bought two packs of the Sewell brand banana plugs from Amazon and they work great!

May even be USB 1.X as it doesn't need anything substantial. Speaker jacks are 5 way binding posts (so yes supports banana plugs).

IMO if you can use banana plugs you should. I find it hard to believe that is any really substantive difference in sound quality unless the banana plugs are very loosely connected.

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

Banana plugs. Will save loads of frustration when connecting the wiring to the receiver.

These are used as high quality connectors to connect to the speaker and amplifier ends of audio equipment. When using bulk wire to connect between consumer speakers and amps/receivers, it's nice to use a connector instead of bare wire. With these, the bare wire is terminated to this banana plug which then fits nicely into the banana plug connector on the back of a set of speakers or amps. Make sense?

I purchased some 'Banana Plugs' much like these: Soundsoul 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) They are simple to affix to your speaker wiring and will plug into the fittings on the rear of the Sony unit with ease. Directly wiring the terminals is possible, but tiring and difficult. The plugs are the way to go.

Unit has speaker wire outlet's only. The manufacturer website has everything you need to know.

I used the 12 gauge wire with banana plugs on these speakers. They keep the speakers sounding neutral and precise.

those do not accept banana plugs. just bare wire then you tighten down the binding posts

The subwoofer outputs use RCA style connectors, all other speaker outputs are screw/banana plug type. So you can insert bare speaker wire and screw it up tight or attach your wires to banana plugs and insert those. Banana plugs don't provide any extra contact or quality, so don't be fooled into buying expensive ones. I get great sound from a pack of 20 I bought for $10, and chose to do so only because it's easier to insert and remove them.

Yes it accepts banana plugs. Regular Speaker wire without banana plugs will work, but I think bananas are a lot more convenient and provide a more solid connection. BTW, this is an absolutely phenomenal amp for the money.
