Speaker connections at the receiver:
1) if the receiver has Banana jacks spaced .75" apart, use MCM Electronics gold-plated "dual-GR" Pomona plugs, #50-4435, $2.59 ea.
2) If the speaker has spring-loaded "pin" jacks, use something like Radio Shack #278-309, 4/$9.99 or the "Monster" equivalent.Speaker connections at the speaker:
1) if the speaker has Banana jacks spaced .75" apart, use the MCM plug above.
2) If the speaker has spring-loaded "pin" jacks, use the pins listed above.
3) if the speaker has a SCREW TERMINAL STRIP, use CRIMP-ON SPADE LUGS, similar to "yellow" insulated automotive lugs (for #12 wire) or "blue" insulated automotive lugs (for #16 wire) ONLY IF the screw heads ARE NOT gold-plated. IF the screws ARE gold-plated, use "Monster Brand" or equivalent crimp lugs for the appropriate size wire. For wall mounts: I HEARTILY recommend Radio Shack #40-150, $3.99. There are FOUR "interlocking" brackets per package - one for the speaker, one for the wall. They are EXTREMELY STABLE, can hold speakers weighing up to 50 pounds, and aare easy to install (just make sure the bracket attached to the SPEAKER is CENTERED AND LEVEL!). For Ceiling-mounting - I have no suggestions other than, maybe, using PICTURE WIRE on the 4 "corners" of the speaker then using a "ceiling hook" to hang the speaker from. Hope this helps. :) Ken
