Connecting Wharfdale Denton speakers

Hi all, I've got my hands on the vintage Wharfdale Denton speakers from the 1970s. However, I'm completely new to this and can't figure out what connection is in the terminals. I would like to avoid just bare wire connection and regular banana plugs are too wide for this. Picture below.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Welcome to AK!. Looks like someone stole the screw-on terminals i'm afraid...
You should just change the whole terminal cup.
 
Looks like standard (but there are many sizes) hardware store machine screws/stove bolts would work.
Depending on the thickness of your cable ends 1/2" or a bit longer would maybe work.
6- 32 to 10 - 32 threads might be in the proper range. Scrounge your extra screws, and don't laugh, maybe try one of the screws that hold on your light switch plate.
Not sure if you could get singles near you but packages are available at Lowes/Menards/etc

Something like this....

or just replace the speaker terminals as already mentioned.
Depends on if you just want functional, OEM, or pretty. Those^ are functional.
