I had the same dilemma a while back. You may want to consider selling your wires, and buying some wires that are meant for this set up. Four wires at the speaker end, two wires on the amp end (per channel), and yes, if at all possible go with spades.
Bi-wire amp connection?
I know, I know... another damn bi-wire thread!!!
I want to bi-wire from my ADCOM 5400 amp to my two main speakers, and I want to use two runs of high quality wire. However the amp only has one set of binding posts? Is it ok to connect one cable with a bananna plug from the center and the other from the side with a gold pin? Also, when you insert the pin through the hole on the side of the binding post it gets in the way of the bananna plug and they touch one another (is that a problem?). However,I do think the bananna plug is making plenty of contact for a good connection before it encounters the intersecting pin.
What should I do?
