Hi to you all - please don't shout at me, I really don't know very much about the technical electronics side of the hardware!!
Question - I have some old Bose 201 passive "bookshelf" speakers rated:
1) Compatible with amps rated 10-120 Watts / channel"
2) Rated 4 to 8 ohms
3) IEC 60W continuous 6 ohms
Given that the 6.3mm Jack output is rated as 0.7 Ohm output (i think??) could I power these speakers using a jack plug terminated in four plain open wires i.e. red, black, red, black
Such cables are available on ebay for small money...

I read about a 1/8th rule, so if output from the Ha-1 is 0.7 ohm it should be able to power 8 times that... 5.6 ohms. These speakers are rated 6 so should be OK... or have I misunderstood.
Thanks for your comments - I'm grateful
