Thank you Bill :-)

I appreciate you helping me with this. I picked up a Cambridge Audio Azur 651A Integrated Amp, a local shop is letting me borrow this for 4 days. It sounds great so far. If I take it the charge would be $375 out the door. It was a floor model from mid/late summer 2016. I trust these guys. So far it sounds great. If I decide not, then I will go with your suggestions of the 501 or 301.

Hey Bill thank you for the suggestions. I'm not in alignment with these, they seem to have extra features than I need. I'm not an expert and like to ask questions just so I am in understanding. Maybe a simpler Yamaha, Onkyo, or Teac Model?

I appreciate the suggestions...and the specs you found are awesome. I tried an Aventage before and it was too much of what I don't use, and it didn't really sound good (even with pure direct). I do like the simple Yamaha 501, would the 301 power these or is it not enough wattage? Maybe a simple Teac option is available, someone mentioned them to me. Thank you. Dave

Thank you for reading my post. I have 2 Klipsch KG 5.2 FIN Speakers, I believe they are 100w. Looking for a receiver to power these the way they deserve. I prefer simple and minimal. My previous Yamaha receiver died, and I don't know what model it was (my bother gave it to me). I do know that it punched out clear sound, with awesome bass (no sub). My audio source is Sonos Connect (pictured, using analog out connections, NOT a wireless connection). This is currently all I am using this system for. I do not have a tv. I won't connect a TV to this system. No surround is necessary. Bluetooth capability would be a plus (to stream sound from my laptop if I watch Netflix). Also considerations are Phono and Sub, but not necessary. I appreciate your time and am grateful for any suggestions. David
