RTIa7 banana plugs question

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty excited to finally hook up some RTiA7 speakers to my system, but I'm unsure about whether or not they accept banana plugs. The user manual states that only "US" speakers support the plugs. What about Canada, though? I'm used to being lumped in with the US and am wondering if "US" means Canada in this case. I don't want to try prying off posts if my speakers don't in fact support banana plugs.

Thanks for any info.

Ron, Halifax, Canada.

    I find it easier to unscrew the posts, the plugs will fall out.

    Do you mean you prefer to use the posts as opposed to using banana plugs? (Sorry if that's a stupid question)

    rather than pry the caps off the binding posts (to reveal the banana plug), you can just unscrew the binding posts all the way off (like if you were attaching bare speaker wire). the little caps will fall off if you unscrew the binding posts

    No, I was referring to removing the plastic plugs. The same thing punk-roc explained.

    As for terminations, banana plugs are the only way to fly, IMO.
