bracurrie Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have arrived at my mother in laws home in S.C. and found no music system. The drive unit for a Sony 5.1 HT system that was used in a non HT situation needs to be replaced. Her needs are not that ambitious but a 2.1 or small 2.0 bookshelf intergrated system with easy to use AM/FM and CD would do. I haven't looked at these in many years and was wondering if anyone had seen anything worth buying I would appreciate a tip. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bracurrie Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Its frustrating to try and shop for a shelf system to play CDs, have AM/FM and be easy to use for an older lady. Been looking at Best Buy and online at Amazon. Lack of response here tells me I may have to buy pre-loved to get something my mother in law will be able to use.

Matthews Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) I have heard good things about these little Onkyo shelf systems. Thinking of getting one for the bedroom myself? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Onkyo-CR-305TX-2-Channel-30-Watt-Receiver-w-Remote-2-Speakers-Antenna-/161250844338?pt=US_Stereo_Receivers&hash=item258b4c9eb2 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Onkyo-CS-445-CD-Mini-Receiver-System-40W-Maximum-Power-/191095326963?pt=US_Compact_Shelf_Stereos&hash=item2c7e2b48f3 Edited March 16, 2014 by Matt 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracurrie, it might be a good idea to take your Mom shopping, that way she can actually feel the controls….good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that isn't going to happen, but I did find this and showed it to her and the remote control sold the deal. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YDTS0S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 With Prime it will be here Wednesday which is in time to unbox, install and train.Thanks to all that suggested something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yamaha makes a number of mini systems at various prices, and you can often find them on sale at the dealers. http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hifi-systems/ They also have small home theatre systems: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hometheater-systems/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
