Since my speaker should arrive "soon" I suppose it's time for some n00b questions.

First off, I'm going to use bananas on the receiver end of the speaker wires as there isn't much room for a direct connection so my question is should I cover the bananas with heatshrink to prevent any shorting or other accidents?

Second, is there an "optimal" height for your tv/screen? I like where mine is now but if I want to place my vp100 below it I need to raise it an inch or two.
