What amplifier for Technics SB-K10

[islandtraffic]

Hi, I have some old Technics SB-K10 speakers.
Input 50W Music, 35W DIN, Impedance 8ohm.
Is there any used entry level amplifiers to suggest? Do I really need an 100W per channel output amp? Thanks a bunch!

Welcome to the forum
The answer is no, you do not need 100 wpc to drive these.
What's you budget for amp and what will you want to connect to it?

Thanks AI ears.

Budget would be around $200-300 and would be listening from a vinyl turntable

Would be good to see what sort of connections you have on the back of those speakers.
Are you in the States?
Which turntable do you have? Or are thinking of getting?

Turntable is an SL-1400. Can't see much in the way of connections at the back of the speakers.
I'm in Australia.
How many watts per channel amp do I need for these?

Thanks

I see, they have pre installed cables.
I think as that impedance reads 8 ohm, and they are not too inefficient, just about any amplifier will do.
When they were made they probably came with a system that didn't have more than 20 wpc
