Re: Returning to the Roots of Musical Enjoyment
I assume you meant that you will retire at the end of 2024. A move from Mobile, AL to Seattle, WA is quite the move. I hope it all works out for the best.

Re: I just received my new STRDH190 Sony stereo receiver!
Your new receiver puts out 90 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The minimum load for this receiver is 6 ohms which means it won't drive 4 ohm loads.
