Advice on hooking amp to receiver

DON73

I have a Pioneer 1120 and will be using an Adcom 7500 connected to the preouts on the receiver to power B&W 801s fronts, B&W 803 rears and B&W 805 center. The amp is THX certified and Adcom suggests THX cables between the receiver and amp. They also say that THX speaker cables should have spade connectors at the speakers.
Do I really need to seek out THX interconnects or will a well made RCA cable work just as well? Spade connectors are easy but I already have cables terminated with banana plugs that fit very tight. Any suggestions will be a big help.
A forklift would be helpful placing the monstrous 7500.

A well made rca cable will do just fine. THX is simply a marketing gimick that cost more money.

Congrats on the amp, and yes, a good quality rca cable for each channel is needed,and no,it doesn't have to be thx certified. Speaker cables will work as they are too. Check out signal cable, good quality at a good price to start out and get you rolling. Enjoy.

Thanks cfriz and tonyb. That's a lot of cables and it's a little crowded behind the units and I'm not as flexible as I was a few years back.
