pros and cons to running bare wire


I am about to buy some Reynaud HP216A speaker wire and have heard they recommend no termination (I am waiting for a reply from JM Reynaud about this) I can understand this may sound better as it would remove 2 soldier connections per wire but are there any side effects or negative reasons to doing this.

any info is appreciated

thank you

Pro: One less connection.

Con: bare wire can oxidize and create a poor connection.
