Default Advice needed! - How to run 12 small speakers from 1 amp using a splitter

He's also wrong. all he needs to do is add transformers. Done it a
hundred times.


** Really ?? Not with domestic amps like Technics.

Such amps are never intended to drive 70 volt line ( step up) transformers
are very likely to be damaged by so doing.

The issue is core saturation at low frequencies - hard to avoid
completely and deadly on anything but the most rugged amplifiers.

Interesting. Have done it dozens of times. Tend not to use Technics, and do
use quality transformers.

What about a coupling capacitor or would that be a bad idea?

You are the one whose judgement I respect, perhapsI have just been lucky.
