I just took delivery of my new Sherwood Newcastle A-965 7 channel power amp and am planning on getting the RTI A7's as soon as I can afford them. From what I understand all of the new high end speakers come with 4 binding posts? With this amp do I need all 4? I was just planning on plugging in some 14awg into a normal 2 posts (1 black and 1 red) and going for it. I used to buy high end speakers back in the 80's but they only had 1 black and 1 red post per speaker. Also I am only going to be using 5 channels in a 5.1 surround config. so I am going to have 2 free channels. As it stands right now I am just going to plug it in like normal and go with it but if there is something I'm missing regarding the 4 binding posts instead of only 2 would some one please drop me a line? Thanks.

    Sunfire TGA7201 with a pair of LSi25's? Do you ever listen to classical? I'll bet it sounds about as close to being at a live concert as possible huh? Very impressive system.
