Default help noob, chosing speakers and cable?

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)
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.


Gotta correct myself, it's 25W RMS 8ohm, not 35W :/

Best Wishes
