Need to get some banana plugs (well don't need - want to get) as I'm replacing my receiver and it will just be a neater and easier way of doing things.
Having a look online and prices vary....a lot.
Found a pack of 20 from the Rainforest, listed as 4mm gold plated for £5.
I can also find some at triple, quadruple that price.

I don't need to get anything special here do I?

Cheers all.
The initial ones found were a "no brand" and were 20 pieces for around £4.99
On advice from above I found some Sewell Deadbolt - 6 pair for £12.30
Fisual Easy Fix - 6 pair for £15.30

I'll grab one or the other.
With my current Onkyo receiver it's just the bare wires - no sockets for banana plugs. As the Yamaha I'm collecting on Saturday does have those sockets it just seemed the sensible way of doing things. I know I can just use the bare wires as before, but cannot help feeling the banana plugs just give that more secure connection.
 
Hay, I'm sure that "in theory" adding an additional plug is going to make a difference to sound. I'm sure the people who say this are the same people who sit there with £100/m speaker cable telling everyone how amazing it sounds compared to the "Amazon basics" speaker cable they could have had. :)
