Fully tin the speaker wire first.
Get an iron with enough wattage to heat the jack quickly.
add a small amount of solder when you do the final assembly.

Compared to the actual contact the banana plug is making on the binding post, even 20% solder coverage of the wire to the banana will be a far better contact than the banana to the post. Spade lugs give a lower loss connection.
