Although many will argue that Bananaananana Plugs are better, bare wire provides the optimum contact area with the speaker terminal. Banananana Plugs can be really useful if you are regularly unplugging the system (I moved my kit the other day and it was a pain without plugs), but if you intend to setup once and leave it the plugs are just a waste of money and the money is best spent on speakers and cable.
Only drawback with bare wire is the chance of a loose thread of wire contacting the back panel and causing a short. Not a problem if your careful, but banana plugs eliminate that risk.
