Very musical amplifier

I hooked up my A-S501 last week and have been playing music through it probably 30 to 40 hours. The amp seems to have finally settled in. For a few days the bass was weak and the imaging seemed off. Now it is pure joy. I have been using it in Pure Direct mode. My source is Spotify on my computer and my speakers are Tekton Lore Reference. Wonderful staging, the sound is very full and balanced. With my very efficient speakers the sound is very dynamic. Deep bass. Very accurate mids and highs. The amp seems very well built to do one thing. Play music.

to connect the speakers in the back. Are they the kind you just plug them inn, or are they the ones you twist to wrap a cable and lock them with a 'screw' ?
You can use banana plugs (the things you plug in) or twisted wire.
