which Jack i should buy

[kiendo]

To Technique support,

Today I have just bought a pair of MTX 60i speaker for my home. However, I don't know which cable jack I should use to connect this speaker to my Onkyo Receiver TX-SR304.

Please give me an advice, and may I re-order this pair with the cables.
I live in Silver Spring, State Maryland

Thank you very much,
Kien Do

First off, you'll need speaker wire to connect your speakers to the receiver. 16 Gauge wire should be fine:

That one is a 50 foot length spool, but you can get it in different lengths if you plan on connecting more speakers later.

Your receiver should have instructions for connecting the speaker wire to the receiver and speakers. If you want to be able to disconnect the cables easily, consider attaching "Banana Plugs" to each end of the speaker wire. PE has a ton to choose from:

dual banana plugs. They hold well and wire doesn't pull loose. They are also available in red #090-466. I tried single banana plugs but always had problems with wires slipping out.
