B&W 805S Embarassing Question

Just picked up a new pair of B&W 805S' yesterday. Sorrow to ask this embarassing question, but is there some sort of plastic cap that B&W now puts on their speaker terminals? Manual says nothing about them and I'm trying to figure out how/if they should be removed? Sunday morning and dealer is closed.

B&W uses little plastic plugs to fill the banana plug holes. Just grab each with a pair of pliers and yank it out.

The plastic plugs are a European thing to prevent people from plugging their AC plugs (which have spaced round prongs much like bananas) into speaker terminals.

I think he is referencing the WBT shrouds...nothing new unless you have never been into high end before.
