Thanks to all those who replied to my last questions about my old SX-434. I have done everything advised except actually powering it up. I have decided to power it up slowly by using my nice isolated output Staco variable transformer. I do not as yet have speakers for the thing and will be looking for some used ones. Besides being 8 ohms what should I look for? I have always bought speakers and amps at the same time, listening to them before buying. But since the SX-434 is going into my shop, and may not work when power is finally applied, I'm not too keen on buying new speakers. At least not yet. This amp has a 15 watt output. Besides listening what else should I look for when buying speakers? My plan is to power the thing up with speakers from another stereo just to see if it works. Then I'll be off to the local thrift stores to see what they have to offer. And I'll bring the SX-434 along to test the speakers. But it has been so long since I bought speakers I don't remember what to look for. Is there any easy way to test the efficiency of the speakers? Any brands to look for? These speakers will be hanging from a plywood wall about 12 feet up in my machine shop. I really don't care about the size because they will be totally out of the way. Thanks, Eric
