Thanks for all the responses, I'll do some research on new and used amps. For more background, I have the two ESS 2 way speakers with 10 inch woofers, Technics turntable and Technics integrated amp, and I bought all of it brand new in 1976. Don't think the turntable has a preamp but I know the receiver does. Am building a 300 s/f basement man cave, rectangular open space with 7 foot ceilings and heavily insulated walls to be sheet rocked. Bare concrete floor, sofa, recliner, upholstered bar, etc. Trying to determine my specific needs for gear so I can plan all the AV cordage and run it behind the walls before they go up. So mic cords, line level instrument cords, RCA cords and hdmi from two TV's, main speakers out plus two pairs of bulk speaker wire for future expansion. All cords will run through accessible conduit and go to a mixer. I plan to use powered PA speakers for loud parties to prevent abuse of the vintage gear. I have not found a "sound pressure level" for the speakers but but I did find a "sensitivity level" spec of 90db, if that helps.
