No, these speakers are designed for speaker wire. There might be some kind of work around with adapters or specialized connectors but to truly appreciate the sound these speakers produce you need a receiver. Sorry.

Short Answer: NopeLonger Answer: Banana plugs are more convenient after you put them on but not required. We've got some speakers in our sun room and carport that are wired to my receiver's location in our living room; no banana plugs on those. I connected them to same inputs as the two tower speakers in our living room that I put banana plugs on.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

I don't think so. Never used them with Klipsch speakers before at all.Banana plugs have a rotating barrel that adjusts the thickness of the plug. High-quality banana plugs come all rotated all the way so they are as thick as possible. Try to see if you can remove very carefully the black and red caps of the speaker to see what happens. In my case, I don't use banana plugs, so I use speaker wire #14 as is, and I'm very satisfy with the sound performance of my speakers set; Nothing wrong with that.

there are banana jacks for the connections, but I would get the individual plugs not the paired plugs.

Banana plugs. Will save loads of frustration when connecting the wiring to the receiver.

Connect the preamp to the power amp with RCAs or XLRs and connect your speakers to the power amp with bananas or wire

It has one sub input which has an RCA input style plug. It also has two sets of jacks for input that would use two wire connections (+ and -) for left and right. Could use banana plugs on those I think. Additionally, it has two identical sets of connections that could be used for output to connect additional speakers. Again, banana plugs could be used for those or just stripped wires tightened into place.

Regular (2 wire) speaker cable can be used to hook up speakers to the R-S500BL. The receiver speaker wire connectors are capable of accepting either banana plugs or bare wire. You can install banana plug ends on the receiver end of the speaker cable if you want to but it is not necessary.

Yes, you strip some of the speaker wire and insert it through the middle of this banana plug. You need to be careful not to have stripped too much or it could contact something else and short out (or damage the equipment). Your receiver or amplifier needs to have female banana plug style connectors to plug into.

In short...NO. Spring loaded connections are not the same as banana plugs. Here is what you need: Monoprice 1 Pair of High-Quality Copper Speaker Plugs - Pin Screw Type (105975) or a connector like it...

The subwoofer outputs use RCA style connectors, all other speaker outputs are screw/banana plug type. So you can insert bare speaker wire and screw it up tight or attach your wires to banana plugs and insert those. Banana plugs don't provide any extra contact or quality, so don't be fooled into buying expensive ones. I get great sound from a pack of 20 I bought for $10, and chose to do so only because it's easier to insert and remove them.

Yes. You attach your speaker wires to the banana plugs then plug these into your amplifier.

I purchased some 'Banana Plugs' much like these: http://www.amazon.com/Connector-Banana-Plugs-Screw-Black/dp/B0093F4ROI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357572009&sr=1-3&keywords=banana+plugs+for+speakers They are simple to affix to your speaker wiring and will plug into the fittings on the rear of the Sony unit with ease. Directly wiring the terminals is possible, but tiring and difficult. The plugs are the way to go.

Hi There,You won't be able to use banana plugs unfortunately. These are phoenix jacks that require a small flat head screw driver to use. They are slightly frustrating, but work well enough once you get them all set up.
