Amp binding posts for bare speaker wires


I've always favored bare wire connections for connecting speakers to amplifier binding posts. I am going to add a subwoofer to my system. REL subs connect their neutrik speakon cable directly to the binding posts and I was wondering if it is advisable to combine bare speaker wire and speakon cables (Black, red, and yellow) together.Or is it better to use for example; banana plugs or spades then connect the sub via bare wire. What I'm trying to ask is, should I separate the speaker wires from the sub wires or does it matterĀ 
if they are connected together.

Since you always favored bare wire connections for connecting speakers to amplifier binding posts, my suggestion is terminate the neutrik speakon cable with banana plugs, so you can separate the speaker wires (bare wire) from the sub wires (banana plug) for a neat connection.
