Default help noob, chosing speakers and cable?

Hi!

I need to select speakers (2 pairs), nothing fancy, but I'd like to put my
OLD Reciever to the best possible use. My Amp is a old Technics SA-200K (35W
RMS/Channel 8 ohms, 2 separate stereo pairs) (speccs found at:
http://www.vintagetechnics.com/receivers.htm).
I'd like to learn suggested minimum and maximum wattage speakers to use
(gonna have two pairs) and what effect to low or high wattage speakers might
have on the amp, on the sound and on the speakers.
Also, speaker cables, what gauge to get (millimeters please) and what
difference the different gauges have on things.

Links to resources explaining all this would also be apreciated!


TIA
Best Wishes
Thomas
