    Speaker cable connection to a Yamaha P2200

    Wiring thick-ish speaker cable into a Yamaha P2200.. The hole in the amp's speaker terminal is a bit too thin to accept the speaker cable. So what's the very best way of doing this? Bare wire? Soldered tips? Spade lugs? If so, what type / brand.

    Yamaha M40 back in the house!

    When I got back into audio about 10 years ago, my first power amp was a Yamaha M40. I picked it up in Toronto on one of my visits there. I used it along with a Sony TA-2000F preamp, and it was really nice. Lots of power to drive the Infinity's, Camber, Kef, and Celestion Ditton speakers I was...
