How Do I Attach Speaker Wires To My Onkyo Receiver (tx-sr800)?

The bare wires from my Bose Acoustimass 15 system keep falling out of the round knobs on the back of the Onkyo TX-SR800 where the manual says to connect them.  It's hard to get your fingers in there and turn the knobs and hold the wires. . .There's gotta be an easier way!  Banana plugs or something?  I'm talking to the Bose folks too.  I've had this system for 5 years, and every time I try to set it up I end up giving up.
