ok, i don't get it.. I get the bit about use cheap cables, you all say
the same, what I don't get is how companies can get away with selling
£40.00+++ pm cable, when you all reckon go cheap.
If I go cheap is it better to bi-wire? most of the on-line reviews I
have read say bi-wiring is the best way to go, I am now very confuzzed.

An considering going to bi-wiring, or should it be more expensive 2
core wire. want to spend around £20.00 per metre, too much? not enough?

If you want to spend £20 a metre who are we to say that's too much or
not enough?

Hint: the BBC and the world's finest recording studios and concert halls
do not spend £20 a metre on speaker cable.

plus banana clips, but I have never used them before, do they fit into
both amp and speaker or are they different sizes for either end?

If they're banana plugs then they're banana plugs. Also sold as 4mm
plugs in electronics places.

checked manual for amp and cannot find the size of the output
terminals for plugs. also do you need to solder the clips?

Depends on the style of the plug.

One other thing, the VSX1016 has phase adjustment,

Oh good, that's such a boon.

so I 'think' that means I do not have to have the same length for each
of the front set, so might save £'s there (1x1m 1x2m 1x3m)

You don't need to anyway.

Any recommendations on the wire? site links for reputable suppliers.

What cable are you using at the moment, and why do you feel the need for
anything "better" than some fairly hefty mains flex?
