I think you're jumping to conclusions. Maybe I'm just a little slower than you and need more time. After all, I had to draw myself a block diagram to figure out why multi-amping wouldn't work .

Darn it all. I have read that a bare wire connection is appropriate and preferred if you're not moving your speakers around, constantly unplugging them. I just liked the cleaner look mainly for plugging into wall plates. Unfortunately, I've already purchased and received the banana plugs from MonoPrice.com. Just waiting on my wall plate which was purchased on eBay. Seeing that I don't move my speakers around, I will go with bare wire on all my speakers. Too bad I just burnt some cash on the banana plugs.

Wheelz,
don't worry about the Banana plugs, I am using the same ones, and I have not every had a problem with the connection, crisp and clean.

Wheelz,
The banana plugs won't affect the perceived quality of the sound. Go ahead and use them.

I tried soldering banana plugs a few weeks ago Debbie was so appalled with my job that she stripped the wires down again and redid it. For what it's worth, I think should just send them to Debbie! {giggles}

Talking about Debbie, I saw photos of her building EP600 drivers. Doing that all day would drive me nuts . I'm sure we'd all like to see more pictures of Axiom staff and the facilities. I'd like to see one of Tom blowing something up .

I'm assuming that the easiest way to connect to the back of the wall plate is via bare wire? I can't see how there would be enough room for the wires and banana plugs inside a electrical box.

Yes, bare wire is the way to go.

And there is certainly no need to be able to plug and unplug from the inside of the box anyway, that would just be a waste of a banana plug.
