In reply to:
Will banana plug give higher sound quality or it's just a matter of convenience?
Convenience... though the purist in me says "any connection added into the signal path will degrade the signal" and the realist in me counters "yes, but to an extent no one will ever perceive".
Though, taking someone like BigJohn - he gets better sound from the banana plugs because with his close spaced binding posts and his sausage-like fingers, without the banana plugs, his speaker wires would be thrown as far as possible out his door in frustration - leading to a bad audio experience.
