Default Question about my speakers & banana plugs?

Hello Folks,

A while back i purchased the Onkyo HT-S6200, hooked it up with the included speaker wire and didn't bother with anything special. However, the wife and i bought a house and we moved in yesterday. I decided to upgrade my speaker wire to a 16G and now i'm wondering if i can use Banana Plugs for both my speakers and my receiver. Also, i really don't want to buy any speaker stands so i looked around and i found these wall mounts on Monoprice. They look just like what i'd want to use, but will they work with the speakers that came with the HT-6200? I know it's a lot of questions, but i really want to hook my stuff up as best as i can without spending a whole lot of money. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is a picture i took of the wire input on the Onkyo speakers for reference.

To me it looks like you would not be able to use the banana plugs with the speakers but they should work fine with the receiver. I would also imagine that those wall mounts would work fine.

Thank you, Nick. Do you know about anything i can use with the speakers? Rather than just the wire ends?

Pins will work with that style clip.

Do a search on Amazon or Google.

Here is an example of what they look like.

Awesome, you guys are the best. So, here's a list i would like you guys to go over and tell me if it's all the right stuff. Once you approve, i'll put the order in right away. I only need to wall mount my rears and surrounds, so it'll just be 2 sets. Besides these products, do i need anything else?

7x PAIR OF High-Quality Copper (non-banana) Speaker Plugs - Pin Screw Type
7x PAIR OF High-Quality Copper Speaker Banana Plugs - Closed Screw Type
2x Speaker Wall Mounting Bracket - Black (Max 10LBS) - Set of 2
