How about - the terminals will only take banana plugs, and not bare wires or spades?

So yes, banana plugs are the only way to connect.

Correct, a bit of an oversight in my opinion.

Cheers. My hotlink worked when I first made the post, but seems to have disappeared.

I don't see what the issue is. All modern Exposure amps are the same. When I had the 1010 this wasn't a problem at all. Banana plugs are easy enough to get hold of and fit, and a more practical solution than bare wire anyway.

Exposure aren't alone either. Cyrus with their BFA plug connections are another example of doing things differently, and Naim also have only sockets rather than conventional binding posts.

The 1010 is a very good amp.
