Polk RTi A7 and OFC wires

Hello, I recently bought a pair of RTiA7, and Im having problems with needed cambles
I have 4 pieces, 2 metres each, of Neotech OFC 2x2,63mm2 13AWG. They have almost the same thickness as the binding posts, so they are quite difficult to install, and most banana-plugs cant be used with them (anyway I was told better not to use any plugs, ¿is this true?)
I was recommended to bought that, to handle 300w per each RTiA7. BUT... if bi-amp, each cable would be handle 150w each...!! and my DENON x3000 AV/Receiver is 105w per channel.
I believe that the cable that I was recommended to buy is too thick. But from what I read about cables, more thicker they are, the better. SO MY QUESTION IS... Shoud I replace them?? Would I have any audio-quality decrease using them??.
BTW, future rear RTiA3 will need exactly the same cables?
Thanks a lot,
Fernando Torres

Would I have any audio-quality decrease using 2,64mm2=13AWG cable (designed to 300w) but using it at 105w?
are banana-plugs recommended just for being "confortable/easy to install", or they improve audio quality somehow? -
Hello Fernando,
Those cables will be fine, As for the banana plugs I think you should use them for lots of reasons ie: ease of use, keeping stray wires from shorting out they look good. As for improving the sound quality as you have probably read on the forum everything matters in the chain(and I agree)
But that can happen down the road, hook them up and enjoy the tunes. later on install the plugs and let us know if its an improvement.
Cheers
