I intend on buying speakers to listen to streamed content (spotify, you tube), but
also have a full set of older components.

Can i use my old stuff somehow with the streaming equipment (like Sonos or similiar)

Also I intend on some new speakers for existing old stereo in living room.
Is there way I could use one set of speakers.
Moving them room to room not a problem ( a subwoofer might be a drag )

Help!! I do have a lot of content in old formats like vinyl and CD's ( and yes Tape!)
However I now use spotify a lot.
No one seems to have a usable solution--- YET.
I will buy something for streaming no matter what.
I do intend on new speakers for older equipment (tuner, turntable, CD, tape, other seperates.

Smaller speakers might be ok, because of smallish living room, but sub woofer not out of question.

Thanks in advance,

your victim of Obsolescence

Am really looking for a general direction to head for with some more modern
equipment like streaming. I want something for streaming and a way
to use some of my old components which still work well.
Am going to make a small system for bedroom use,
Streaming plain old spotify would be ok here.
Plus new speakers for living room, but would like to
be able to stream there also.
A nicer setup would be no problem to move room to room.

All equipment is very old but all works very well.
Most is so old you never heard of it!
Instead of old lets call them VINTAGE.
Am not looking for high end equipment, since I
have much less hearing than i used to.
Just middle to cheaper stuff that works OK
Am no longer a "golden ear" type, but
just a music addict. Music first, and second,
sound comes in third.

I do not even know the correct words
to ask for what I want.



Denon Tuner TU-800
Revox B 77 reel to reel
Nakamichi Dragon cassette tape
Infinite Slope 2 speakers
Genesis 210 speakers
Sony (ES) STR 6120 receiver
Marantz SR 71 tuner ( yes tubes)
Kenwood 7700 turntable with several cartridges
Pioneer CD player ?? PD 302? maybe
plus your normal video stuff
and an old set of Rogers LS3/5a
my speakers seem to be 30 years old or worse
and have been used 8 hrs a day forever,
in other words they are tired.

Uh, for what it's worth, there is no Marantz SR 71 that I can see. There is a Marantz TA 7i which consists of a ST-71 digital tuner and a PM-71 integrated amp. Neither of which are tubes

In any case, whatever solution suggested that outputs red/white analog audio can be fed into any amp/receiver with an "aux" input.

Sorry was too lazy to get off my butt and look it is a MacIntosh SR-71 older than dirt, like its owner.
However it works great, although not as good as my Denon TU-800 (probably due to amped antennae)
With equipment this old I only care if it works. I am lucky I knew any model numbers, let alone get one wrong.
