Marantz receiver questions

I have a Marantz PM7001 that I'm perfectly happy with, but the speaker wire connections have gotten so sensitive that the speakers often cut out and I have to tinker with the wires to get the sound back.  I tried cleaning--nothing doing.  Worth taking into the shop or time for a new receiver?

I am playing classical and jazz on cds--Marantz CD6006, Paradigm phantoms.  Will I, a non-audiophile, notice sound difference between the PM6007 and the PM8006--worth the nearly 1K Canadian difference?

What kind of speaker connectors are on the cable? I don’t think replacing the PM 7001 with a PM 8006 is worth the investment!

I've just got the speaker wire screwed on.  Would banana plugs solve the problem?

Yes! Or spades!

Btw, last line in original post is wrong.  It's a PM7001 that I'm thinking of replacing with a PM8006.

Pardon my ignorance, but do standard banana plugs fit with all equipment?  25 year old Paradigm speakers, 20 year old Marantz receiver--they'll plug right in to this equipment?
