Default Speaker and DSP for boatanchor receivers

If I wanted to buy a NEW 3.2 ohm speaker to use with a Hammarlund radio is there one that anyone would recommended for listening to AM broadcasts?
Is there any recommended size speaker such as 6 inch or 8 inch, etc?
Is there any loss in audio quality using a 4 ohm speaker?
How would two 8 ohm speaker in parallel work?

Is anyone using a DSP unit with their boatanchor which they would recommend?
Most [All ?] DSP units distort the audio so there is probably always some distortion, but some DSP units would be better than others. I am thinking in term of AM signals broadcast band reception.

I have followed the price of the Hammarlund speakers on ebay and they are a bit expensive. I assume they would be best, but a bit rich for me.

Thanks for any recommendations.
