Hi,
I'm having an extension, and the ceiling is currently opened out. So I want to run cables to 4 ceiling speakers and 4 rear/side speakers.
I assume, I'll need to run from the AVR to the wall plate, and connect using banana plugs.
With 8 speakers, that will be 16 plugs in total.
4 pairs of cables to the ceiling speakers
With 4 pairs going to another wall plate at the back of the room, where I can then connect in cables for the 4 rear speakers.
Is it worth fitting banana plugs, or just screw into binding posts like on the AVR?
Also what do you recommend as the plates to use. 16 connections seems like a lot, but there are 8 speakers.
Could i get something like this?
Photos attached, just bind the cables like on the AVR?

Updating the speakers after extension
Hi, I'm having an extension built at the moment, so with the ceiling ripped open, I'm going to install some ceiling speakers and neatly place cables in the ceiling for them + rear speakers. Previously it was in trunking around the skirting boards. Room size for the TV area is 4.2 x 3.3m...
