Yo First of FRANK:
As Rat Tracker says, it'll work fine. There are some exceptions though.
I use a Yamaha integrated amplifier in my home studio and it is great because I can plug in ALL the other stuff and run it from one control box.
The Yamaha has plugs for two sets of speakers; one set has the banana type plug in; so, I have one set of speakers hooked up this way which is a tight fit thus a good connection.
The other plug for the second set of speakers will only accept the "straight wire" connections; this is all right but I wish it would accept the banana connection.
Now when you get into powered speakers, I'm not sure exactly what types of plugs you can use. For example, I have no means to connect with 1/4 inch cable plugs or XLR.
I'm sure there must be an adapter out there but the more plugs you plug in, the less quality signal you get, sometimes.
At any rate, your stereo should do until you want to make a significant change.
