Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60

I have no desire to modify the amp.  I ordered some Kimber Kable 8tc in bi-wire configuration with bananas on the speaker end and bare wire on the amp end so I can terminate once I found the right solution. 
One thought I had was to bend the wire in a hook and solder, but I’m not sure how good of an electrical connection that would provide.

So I ended up just crimping on hoops and soldering.  Nothing fancy or gold plated, but they are nice and secure.
