Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp


I just purchased a classic C-60 to pair with my old Vandersteen 2CE’s.

Right now I’m just using Blue Jeans biamped speaker cable terminated in spades on the amp end. The classic only excepts wire that are screwed in on the back of the app. This means I’m going to have to cut the ends off the spades, and because it is Bi-amped I’ll then have two positives wires and two negatives  going to one channel. 

So my options are to just not use one of each color (one red one black) or twist the two reds together and twist to blacks together.  My question is what is the best way to attach the wire to the amp. Do I need to buy a different type of termination or is it just the bare wire that gets screwed in. And how do you think I should go about doing this with the wire I have. 

Also one follow-up question, if I just cut one black wire and one red wire from the spade, and tape them up, is there anything I should be worried about, sonically?

I live in an area devoid of any quality electronics repair. And before I send the unit off to AR, is there any simple visual things I can check or should be aware of? 

I bought the unit from Upscale Audio. I’ve purchased an AR PH3se from them and it’s been great. I know used equipped like this is a bit of the throw of the dice,  but they “say” it’s been bench tested and looked over and comes with a 90 day warranty, but I will call them to verify what was exactly done. 
You can these adapters if the spade terminals on the cable are too wide. I've used them on my McIntosh amplifier terminal strip.

My cables have banana plugs but I think you can use spades.

Upscale knows what they're doing so I wouldn't worry (in the short term). At some point, those caps need replacing (I had mine done at the local ARC dealer). Anyway, enjoy that wonderful amp!

That's not biamplification, which would require two amplifiers.
