    That is a nice setup that you should be very pleased with. Any speaker wire will work, but if you're on a budget I would suggest this:

    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10239&cs_id=1023901&p_id=2789&seq=1&format=2

    and this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=9436&seq=1&format=2

    Make sure you measure to see how much cable you need. You will need a pair of wire clippers to splice the wire.

    Also, monoprice is very cheap but does not offer free shipping. So while you at it get whatever HDMI cables or other cables that you need. It never hurts to have a few extra, ut it sucks to not be able to get everything hooked up because you are missing one cable.

    good luck!

    the bananna plugs you suggested seem to go in the receiver side but in the movie says speakers need pin screw type.
    does it matter if its pin screw or regular plug?

    Your speakers will accept banana plugs, spades or bare wire.

    These are a lot better banana plugs than the one's I've seen people posting:

    They contact the terminals along their full length. "Normal" banana plugs only contact the terminal at their widest point. Perhaps about a third of their length.
