Bare wire connections are best avoided since the wire will inevitably oxidise over time... however, this also happens with mechanical crimp/compession connections. If the connections can be soldered I would do it - I would have the plugs soldered to the speaker cable. Personally I think you would find it hard to hear any differences between those 2 types of cable you mention, but the usual advice is to try them out. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
