I am new to this forum, and building my system. (currently only have the CS2 and Yamaha RX-V765) I have a nice size plasma to place the CS2 under. Can I use this one center speaker, with receiver/tv, until I obtain rest of speakers? (plan to invest in M70, M40 and sub) Will this create any issues?

    Yeah, you can do that until you get more speakers. It won't sound great, but it will be better than what's coming out of your TV speakers.

    Looking to terminate the speaker wires. Can anyone suggest a reasonable plug to use? (currently looking at GLS Audio Black Chrome Series Gold Connector Banana Plugs) Is there an audible difference, given my set up? (Yamaha RX-V765, CS2 center, Polk Monitor 70's, 30's, 40's)

    I don't think there is going to be an audible differnce, just how easy it is to hook and unhook.

    I use the GLS locking plugs and have been very happy with them. I like the secure connection and have never had a wire come loose. I always wait for them to go on sale at speakerepair.com. I think the last time I bought some they ended up being under $2 a pair. You should be able to find the non-locking versions for just a little less if you are patient.

    +1 on the GLS locking plugs. That's what I'm using in my 2 channel rig, and I'm very happy with them. They make a very tight, solid connection.
