Hey guys, I recently acquired some Monitor 7Bs and 5Bs and I was gonna use the 12AWG wire that I have, but the hole in the binding posts is way too small, much smaller than the SDAs. So I was wondering if I'm supposed to use banana plugs for these or something else?

Thanks everyone

    Banana plugs will work, or upgrade the binding posts and you can wire direct.

    You should be able to use bananas or spades. Never use bare wire.

    Cool thanks. I ordered the side entry ones from Monoprice, but I was a jackass and only ordered two pairs instead of four *face palm* Also, why don't you recommend bare wire?
