Technics is usually not POS, but in the context it may be, in which case it
does not belong in the context.

On the skill level of the original poster the reply is "bite the sour apple,
get a 70 volt amplifier and 70 volt speakers, most "loudenboomer"
manufacturers DO have a line of small 70 volt boxes and diy'ing what can be
bought ready made over the counter tends to be costlier nowadays. Or do the
series parallel wiring suggested, A suggestion once made to me is to
remember to parallel speakers to pairs and series connect the pairs if ever
I had to make such a setup. Starting out with 16 ohm boxes will simply the
setup greatly!
