Hi guys.
Got hold of 2 x 2m QED Silver Anniversary XT unterminated (I had the option to go with Airlocks, but given the price I opted to go with other bananas, better ones tbh).
Anyway, the bananas I should be receiving are these (similar to WBT and Dali):

As you can see, they provide a screw, solder-less connection.
Would I be better off soldering the cable to the banana? Do not forget this cable has the X-Tube tech, thus solder could get inside the tube and I don't seriously know if it would do any harm...
 
Just use the screws, but maybe consider tining the cable ends with silver solder.
 
You mean topping the cable ends with solder (so that each strand stays together)?
 
Yes, but must admit I have not done this as the my cable is so thick, to add solder would have prevented me from getting the wires in the banana plugs.
