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 matter 
if they are connected together.

Right. You will never hear the difference with the sub that’s for sure. I ran mine for years like this, only instead of banana I just twisted and folded the bare wire and crammed it in there. I usually say everything matters. But some, just not enough to worry.
