Thanks for all of the tips and I will look into the various suggested terminations suggestions as well as the cable options (I have tried the walmart white lighting cable and like it very much however my set just has no connectors - I just soldered the wires and they are too fat to insert into the receiver speaker clips).
I was hoping someone could have confirmed if drilling the hole bigger in the speaker connector in the back of the receiver was ok but I guess nobody has done this. I will try this as there are three sets of speaker connections on the back of the receiver so if I mess one one up that will not be a problem.
I will let you know how it goes.

It isn't okay to drill, because the hole will continue to enlarge and you will begin to lose contact surface and all the "benefits" you think are gaining will be diminished.
As I got to be an old audio lunatic, I began to realize that some things just aren't worth the trouble. That was about five years ago.
Hey if he's not afraid to drill, why not a nice set of 5-way binding posts. They are not expensive if you stick with gold plated brass. Parts Express is having a sale on their Dayton "WBT" knockoffs.

speaker terminals on the old receivers. The pins can be simply crimped onto 10-12 gauge thick wire. I had the same problem you had, and the RS pins worked perfectly. No need to drill out any holes on the speaker terminals.
Thanks, I will try to locate some of those RS pins

Thanks, I also found them on ebay. Will be ordering a few sets.
