Best way to wire Speakers from mc501 amps


I'm new to this hobby, I just bought a ca2300 pre and 2 mc501 amps. I cannot up grade my speakers for about a year and currently have linn 5140 speakers.

I do not understand how to wire them, which post do I connect them to on the amps and should I bi wire and if so how should I do it and what speaker wire should I get?. Thanks in advance for any help

I replaced Nakamichi PA1 and CA1. I did mean the c2300 and MC501s. I have the 2300 but the 501's are on back order, I should get them next week. The linn 5140's have a banana connector on the amp side and 2 black and 2 red on the speaker side. One speaker wire is 12 ft long and one is 8 ft. I would like to get new speaker wire, shorter but don't know what kind and if that configuration is the best. Also there seems no end to how much you can spend. I will upgrade speakers in a year, but for now I would like to keep it reasonable (under 1k) for the speaker wire. Also I will be putting the 501s on the floor. Looks like I should invest in amp stands. any idea about the right ones for mc501's
