I noticed the 7700 user manual has three ways to connect the amp to the speaker cables. This is probably a very basic question for this forum but which,if any,is best.

The one you already have. I don't think you'll get a clear winner on any of the three methods and for all intents and purposes they're the same. Others may feel differently.

As I am always moving things around or trying new gear, I use banana plugs on everything. It takes longer to properly solder the connections on, but once you do it the time you save if you will be swapping them out if you are like me is invaluable.

I'm a big fan of banana plugs for convenience. Hard core folks seem to prefer spades. Bare wires would be my last choice.
Cheers,

I have to say I am with Doug and Ritz on this one. Banana plugs are so convient when you change gear very often.

If you get locking bananas, which are a bit more expensive (I pay $3 per plug), you will get convenience and a connection that won't degrade.

Any opinions, sorta off topic, on cable material? Copper vs silver? There's so much snake oil...love to hear what people have tried and liked.
