Sorry for your loss. @douglas_schroeder ’s distinction between the casual "good enough" listener and the more serious efforts at trying to reproduce an approximation of live or real music in your room is a good one. Having said that, you might nonetheless choose to keep the speakers, not only for sentimental value, but for the coolness factor if you can afford to treat them as a core part of a secondary system which doesn’t require that you invest serious money in the overall system. I remember them from back in the day, doubt I ever heard them, they are sort of Bose 901-ish on stands but looked more expensive. To me, they are cool in a dated modern design aesthetic. You might have some fun with this even if you don’t intend to become a hobbyist, etc.

Hi there,
I've had the good fortune on inheriting these speakers, though, without an amp.
My dad always said they need "power power power", but looking on other forums, people talk about sold state amps, which I know nothing about, and my dad sure didn't have one of those.
Thanks,
C

- What's the difference between solid state and your run of the mill amp from Richersounds?
- Could a Cambridge Audio AXR85 power these enough to truly appreciate them?
- or do I need to invest in something more specialist?
Thanks,
C
