Hi everyone,
I am new in the neighborhood, but I have been reading many posts recently. I figured out I should try to ask some questions about my specific case. Hope I haven't missed something and not repeating a similar thread.
So, I have equipped an old-school PHILIPS AF 777 whit it's original cartridge and needle set (GP 400-II), and have recently got a DENON DRA-435R receiver to plug it in. The next step is to get something to make all that sound nice and loud. The impedance for the receiver is 6 ohms - first question: since the nominal impedance of speakers may vary, is it fine to go for the ones with 6 ohms declared? What speakers would you suggest? Or whit what characteristics?
The important detail, and maybe a problem, is the budget of course. I am thinking about going under $150, but I would consider also secondhand items. If something is really good, I can raise the limit a bit. That's how its starts, and I don't know where it could end
The music it should play is most various, from classic and jazz to grunge and hc punk, passing through ska, reggae and ethnic music. So basically everything with instruments and vocals in it
The room where they will be placed for now is not huge, maybe 30 m2, but I could move them to a bigger place soon, so it shouldn't be considered as a fundamental parameter.
Maybe I should ad that I am located in Berlin.
I must say that I am a newbie in this field, so every comment and advice is most welcome.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best
