stereo for someone special


Hi
I'm thinking of putting together a stereo for my mom and am curious if anyone else has attempted this. It would be awesome if I could pair non power hungry floor standing speakers with a tube integrated where the source would be the dvd/cd player.

Without specifying equipment my inclination would be a hybrid integrated (low maintenance; swap the input tubes every few years; still get some tube effect), solid state CD player and small floor standers that will work well close to the wall. Think about a nice stand that matches her furniture, too, if she doesn't have something serviceable.

That said, I'm siding with C'man (and others). The sound staging, 3D imaging, etc. doesn't matter to most folks. It's more about aesthetics and convenience. That and her telling friends, "Look what my son bought for me!"

Hey, she's your mom. What do you think?
