Best way of connecting bare wire to bare wire


Sorry if this sounds like a newbie question - I've always had speakers and speaker wires with banana type ends. Now I am trying the whole 'magnet wire' thing (solid core copper 14 awg) and also changing to Magnepan MC1's and MMG-W's. These speakers have multi-strand bare wires coming out of them, and my copper 'speaker wire' is bare as well. My question is, what is the best way to make a high quality connection between a multi strand bare wire and a solid core bare wire? Solder? Crimp connectors? Just wondering what people out there are using in this situation. Thanks!

Seems a little silly to be commenting on the quality of wire nuts but you do want to be sure the ones you get have a wire coil inside. Some inexpensive ones are just a plastic cap without any wire inside the wire nut itself. The ones with the metal coil grip much better.
