Okay so I guess that you can tell that I'm a total noob at this stuff, but I just purchased my whole 7.1 Deftech set up along with my Blue Jeans speaker wires (12 gauge). I will be running these wires behind the wall and will route all the wires centrally to a wall plate. Do wall plate brands matter? Does one have a significant advantage over the other? I've seen some online that say "for 14 gauge" use, etc. etc. Is there a certain one that I need? I'd like one that has the speaker labels on it already (FR, FL, etc.)if you guys could recommend a place that I order them from. Thanks in advance for all your help.

These accept banana plugs correct? It does not say so...

IHMO, it certainly looks to me as if it'd accept banana plugs without any issues.
