Bananna plugs


Is the use of bananna plugs for connecting loudspeakers to amp and receiver binding posts superior to just connecting the bare wire leads directly to the binding posts themselves? I picked up on this in a book I'm reading about audio and home theater systems. Do bananna plugs make for a more complete connection between the amp/receiver and the loudspeakers resulting in improved sound?

Come on Bill....its a bit late for April Fools.
It's not the turns that hold up the signal flow, it's the damn traffic lights.
now that's funny. or maybe the 'plug' on the end of the banana prevents the flow
