I just picked up some new V5 Paradigm Monitors. A pair of Titand,CC-290,and a pair of Mini Monitors that I am going to use as surrounds. Now I just have to wait for the new Onkyo receiver to get here. How should I go about wiring all of this? What speaker wire and how about connections? Should I look into using banana plugs?

You can get good quality speaker wire at Home Depot. 12 or 14 gauge stranded pairs will do fine. Banana plugs are up to you. They do make the connections a lot easier. Just don't get caught up buying really fancy and expensive connectors or wire. Also, it is not critical that you match the wire lengths going to the various speakers.
