Richieroo Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi All, After suggestions for some speakers for a vintage Pioneer I expect I need a good set of Hi response speakers of 95db/@1k @ 8 ohms here's some specs of the amp: Power output: 12 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Frequency response: 20Hz to 70kHz Total harmonic distortion: 1% Input sensitivity: 3mV (MM), 130mV (line) Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (MM), 85dB (line) Speaker load impedance: 4Ω to 16Ω I didn't spend a fortune on the amp, so don't want to go too crazy on the speakers for this, just want to make sure I get what I can out of those 12 watts (want it to sound good) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 i bought this Sansui 331 reciever, 12 wpc, to go with my Sansui SP2500 speakers, 98db/w/m efficient, a great match, using this in my study. Vintage, Sansui, Kenwood,Pioneer speakers would work well, have seen some for sale in the vintage section on facebook 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graywulf Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Depends what sound signature you are after? The 1960's Wharfedale, Kef, Goodmans, Tannoy bookshelf or 2 way/full range speaker floorstanders would do nicely. Many of these old speakers only needed 10 watts max input. Coral, Pioneer did some nice full range drivers. Small Sonab's, Klipsch there's a huge range of older speakers as well as modern. Modern speakers? There are some good units coming out of China too.
