Hey lando!!!! TW here. I am VP of Axiom and was just browsing through the new site when I ran across your question and thought I would post to you.

If you are using bannana plugs, you don't need to worry about if the binding posts are tightened down. Finger tight is fine. The important thing is that you get the wires securely connnected to the plugs themselves, and that when you plug them into your receiver and speakers that they are connecteded in phase (possitive to possitive, negative to negative)

Hope this helps.

Have fun!!!!

TW
