Glen, I'll bet you set your computer clock backwards just so you could 
beat me to the punch!  :)

Radio Shack has filament transformers with a 12.6 VAC center tapped secondary.  Using half of the secondary works very well with 3.2 ohm speakers and using the entire 12.6 volt winding works very well with 8 ohm speakers.  However, using either a 6.3 volt or 12.6 volt secondary without a center tap will work as well.  The impedance "matching" is not that critical.
