My 92 year old father passed away recently and left behind his stereo system consisting of Chorus II speakers he bought new in 1996. They look new and he never abused them. He was a classical guy. They are paired with a Yamaha RX-550 receiver, Yamaha disc player CDC-625, and a Yamaha KX-W332 double cassette deck. My intention is to keep the disc player if possible and replace the receiver for something that will let me stream music. I know nothing about amplifiers/receivers and need some suggestions. I am not an audiophile but still want pretty good sound. Thanks for any help.
I was also wondering if anyone has ever elevated these speakers off the floor using 1/2" anti-vibration pads. My concern is moisture permeating through a concrete floor even though sealed or a small water problem. Thinking of Florida where all homes are slabs. Thanks again.
Condolences for you father,,and congrats on inheriting one of the greatest speakers made,I too had some concern of moisture on the bottom of the risers,,so I purchased the solid whit PVC outdoor molding,,its basically 3/4 x 1 1/2 of solid PVC,and I just outlined the bottom of the riser,,scuffed the PVC and sprayed them black and a couple of dabs of construction adhesive and now no more worries..
