My guess is that you don’t wish to do an extensive modification of your receiver in order to install 5-way binding posts. If this is true, here’s an option:

A spring-loaded terminal is often a surface-mount type that can be replaced with an exact drop-in replacement. But rather than replace a spring-loaded terminal with yet another spring-loaded terminal, it would be better to select a barrier strip terminal that implements a screw instead of a spring-loaded contact. Measure the exact distance between the spring-loaded terminal's mounting holes to determine which barrier strip terminal will fit your needs. A high quality barrier spade such as the direct gold plated copper Vampire BAR spade can be used to connect speaker wire to a barrier strip terminal rather than bare wire.
