I have a pair of studio monitor emblems that do not have the pins that go through the grill into the mounting holes . Has anyone repaired these? Ideas appreciated.

I used a dollop of silicon bathtub caulk/adhesive (Dow RTV type stuff) to glue badges onto the grills of my L100s.
I also used it to glue the cloisonne badge onto the grille of my Alfa Romeo Giulia back in the day ...
Give it 24-32 hours to set up and dry with the grills horizontal before you put the grills upright again.
its pretty robust stuff yet it can be rubbed off with a bit of work.

Bathroom caulk / RTV will eventually disassociate itself from most surfaces save for some fabrics. Try E6000, it comes in clear and white.

BTW - In case anyone doesn't know what RTV stands for, here it is. Room Temperature Vulcanization.
