As with all things audio, everything is a compromise. I suppose it would be better to directly connect the wires to the speaker and eliminate the speaker posts, connectors and solder joints.
That being said, I prefer any number of high end speaker cables (with connectors in place) to the ordinary hook up wire than many people consider adequate, even if they were directly wired.
There are plenty of flaws in (all) our systems to keep us busy for years. If we were totally hard wired, experimentation would slow to a crawl. Experimentation is necessary to learn and the only way to be sure a change is for better or worse.
