Hi Chazz, welcome to The Guide! :later:

It is possible, but I don't think changing the speaker connections will give you anything listening-quality-wise. Generally speaking, receivers that have spring-clip type speaker connects are fairly inexpensive and have commensurately inexpensive amps/component pieces. Going to 5-way binding posts won't change the make-up of the rest of the receiver's pieces. In other words, it'd be a good bit of effort for little or no gain.

I'd save the money you'd spend on the mod as a start on upgrading. However, if you're determined to try, check out Parts Express. There's a link at the top of the page - do a search on "binding posts" to start with.

As always, this is just my 2 cents.
