Best way of connecting bare wire to bare wire


Sorry if this sounds like a newbie question - I've always had speakers and speaker wires with banana type ends. Now I am trying the whole 'magnet wire' thing (solid core copper 14 awg) and also changing to Magnepan MC1's and MMG-W's. These speakers have multi-strand bare wires coming out of them, and my copper 'speaker wire' is bare as well. My question is, what is the best way to make a high quality connection between a multi strand bare wire and a solid core bare wire? Solder? Crimp connectors? Just wondering what people out there are using in this situation. Thanks!

Brad-

When I had the MC-1's not to long ago, I also had speaker wire that was bare, and to connect the two, I twisted them together and put wire nuts to hold them together.
If the connection at the speaker end will accept banana plugs, Audioquest makes a banana that slides over solid wire and there's a set screw that holds it in place.
