old speaker connectors

[Tiwaz]

So I have found a pair of some older speakers in our basement and i would like  to use them since they seem to be of decent quality. The thing is i dont know which cables and cable adapters i would need to run them both off of my PC or Hi-Fi System via 3,5mm Stereo connectors. 

I would appreciate if someone here could elaborate what i need to do to run them!

 

here is an image of the connectors that are on each speaker

HAHA! Those aren’t plugs, those are screw-in sockets! You need to use them with speaker wire, with wich you strip the end, unscrew the socket, stick it in the hole on the side, under the screw that will be revealed and screw the socket back.

I believe they're banana plugs. you can buy some on amazon and hook them up to a stereo.

Np! It’s  not actually an old standard, just mostly only used in the pro audiophile part o’ town.
