Does the unit have binding posts for the speaker wires? I have speakers in place and want to connect to unit without splicing wire.

In my recollection the wires are directly hard wired into the speaker side. They would require some type of splice though they are bare wired with spring posts on the stereo side. Really thin wires at that. Possibly 22 gauge or smaller.

I have a similar issue with multiple sets of speakers I wanted to run off Zone 2. I connected two 4 foot lengths of speaker wire (R&L;) to the Zone 2 posts on the receiver, and used them as "pig-tails." Then I routed all my various zone 2 speaker wires to the pig tails, connected pos to pos and neg to neg. Works fine.

No, it comes with no wires. Get a quality sub woofer cable and some 14 gauge speaker wire. I got the RCA brand speaker wire from Amazon.

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

Yes, it does come with wire, but not enough for a large room. You might consider getting an additional length of wire for the rear speakers if you have a large room. It will give you more flexibility in speaker placement.

No, you have to purchase your own wire from what I can remember. It has been quite sometime since I bought the speakers and I don't recall that any speaker wire was included.

The speakers ARE both separate from and removable from the unit. They connect with wire clips, not RCA connectors. I hope this helps.

you connect the speaker wire to the plugs it's great once you get it hooked up. no more wires bending when you plug them in! :)

I just wrapped the speaker wire around the speaker connection on my speakers, and it worked fine (I had the same issue - my amp only had RCA output but my speakers needed regular speaker wire)

They have small plugs you can remove and use a pin type plug or you can usethe stripped wire method. I bought the pin adapters for my speaker wires.

The wires are only wired to the connector on the one end. They are bare on the other end. You can clip that end into the provided speakers, other speakers, or (as we did) tape them to the existing wires for our installed speakers.

These wires will work; they are designed for '3 way binding posts' which look like red/black circles on the rear of the speakers. The plugs on these wires go into the 'circles'; very easy! If your speakers only accept bare wire, the plugs on the wires easily remove by unscrewing revealing the bare copper strands. Your Onkyo has 3 way binding posts and are compatible with the banana plugs on the wires.

Answer here...back of speakers have conventional exterior spring loaded wire clips, slide speaker wires into slot and release tabs.

I routed the speaker wire in the slot up the back of the post, then out through the flexible cover, below the upper platform and around the back of the platform to the speaker....I like these stands - simple and sturdy.

No, I am using the stock speaker wire. However, I do plan to replace it soon as it is quite small. It works fine but tends to easily get pulled out of the spring clips on the speaker if tugged slightly. I plan to use a couple of gauges heavier wire.

I was able to use some epoxy to hold them to the stock location. You will need to cut the original wire harness and splice the wires together, but it is not hard if you have some experience with speaker wiring.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.
