I'm sure this has been asked before, but it would have been back in 2016 and possibly before Chromecast audio.

Looking for some guidance for a set up for my parents and could do with some input in case I'm missing something obvious.

What I think they need:
1. Small discreet speakers… maybe even Bluetooth (sacrilege I know)
2. DAB radio
3. Cast from laptop, android tablet/phones maybe an iphone
4. Maybe CDs
5. The capacity to add a record player if they decide it is missing from their lives
What my mum wants:
1. Small, simple and neat
2. Radio
3. Casting
4. CD
What my dad wants:

My current thought is something like a Denon mini system with a Chromcast audio, then speakers very much dependent on style.

Also I’m not 100% sure which out of two rooms they would play music, so if anyone has any bright ideas on how you could have the ability to play in two rooms on different floors that would be interesting too…. Maybe just an amp and speakers in the second room with another Chromcast(?)

Cheers.

Edit: Fuck me it was back in 2015 when I asked this question!

Denon i think has their own range or wireless speakers and system. I find it costly but you may be interest if you basically need everything. (I only suggest it as you mentioned Denon)

Im going through a battle now with it myself. If they dont mind annoying proprietary apps, then Chromecast or Jongo. I have the Jongo, but it annoys me as im forced to use their app to play music.
