The speakers connect to a signal source, such as an audio-video receiver or power amplifier with two-strand speaker wire. Each Klipsch speaker is equipped on the back with a pair of terminals colored red for the positive wire and black for the ground or negative wire. The clips are mounted on springs to hold the speaker wires securely.. Use the wire strippers to strip off 3/8″ of the speaker wire insulation. Twist the ends of the exposed copper wire so that the strands stay together. Loosen the speaker terminal so that the gap is exposed. Insert the twisted end of the positive speaker wire into the gap on the side of the red speaker terminal. Tighten the terminal.
I agree with Mike, bare wire connections are fine. Might want to re-do these connections every once in a while if you're worried about oxidation.. monster cable and nxg interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire. KLIPSCH-So Good It Hz! Quote; WMcD.

If you have speaker banana plugs, jam em in the hole. If you don't, youll need to unscrew the post and slip the bare wire terminal end into the hole that gets exposed, and then screw the terminal caps back down to cinch it.
