Banana how to

I use those. I put them in my soldering clamp so that the open end is up. Insert the wire at the right angle, and then get the big soldering iron and heat the crap out of it, and let the solder flow down into the banana. I don't crimp because my wire fits tightly in the banana - IMO, the wire should be tight before soldering and you are correct that crimping might be a good thing - we only want the solder to secure the wire, the wire\banana contact is really what should pass the signal, and not the solder.
