You have nothing to worry about, it just give you a cleaner look will still sound the same way if you get them or not.

Sony generally uses 3/4" spacing for the +&- terminals, so you can use dual banana plugs. This gives you the ability to use 1 connector per speaker wire.

Many better speakers have the same terminals, so you can use the dual plugs at both ends of the speaker wire.

if nothing else, it's easier to connect because if you have thick wires, it's tough to turn the binding posts once you have a ton of wires back there....
