Alright, bare wire it is. Axiom should reposition the plugs so you can use terminated wire more easily. I have some good pre-terminated wire (Transparent Audio) and cutting it is not a wise option. With such quality lugs on the speaker I'm shocked this is an issue and thankful I did not run the wires yet in my new room. I'll make do, and look forward to hearing it all hooked up. Thanks for the input.
