I want to buy small bookshelf speakers for my Concept 2.0 stereo receiver purchased in 1977. My large speakers rotted years ago. Time to take the 2.0 out of storage and use it again. What is the ohm rating and watt range of small speakers I should purchase? Thanks.

The Concept 2.0 stereo receiver from 1977 is designed to work with speakers that have an impedance of 8 ohms. It delivers approximately 15 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Therefore, small bookshelf speakers compatible with this receiver should have:
- Impedance: 8 ohms (nominal) - Power handling: At least 15 watts RMS; ideally in the range of 15–50 watts RMS for optimal performance and headroom
Speakers with higher power handling are acceptable as long as the impedance is 8 ohms.
Need help?
