Inserting your banana should wait until your sure you are ready for a lasting and loving relationship with your speaker.

Then, if you're the spiteful kind, you start spreading rumors about your speakers in order to trash your speakers' reputation!

King, I always use just the plain wire, which is fine unless you're going to be frequently connecting/disconnecting. You mentioned that the wires were "squeezed" in. Care has to taken that some strands aren't left loose to cause a possible short. To make the connection easier you can trim some strands off the stripped end to reduce the size of the wire ends, e.g., from 12ga to 18 ga. This isn't analogous to a multi-lane highway suddenly turning into an 8-foot wide dirt road; the overall resistance of the entire length of wire is the relevant factor and isn't changed appreciably by having the stripped end smaller.
