A mate wants to upgrade his second system with a new amp and speakers. My suggestion would be something like a caiman - chromecast and a set of active monitors as he has a limited space.
Can anyone make any recommendations?

Not sure where I read It (pinkfishmedia maybe) but the latest Yamaha amps (A-S501 A-S701 etc) are supposed to be a big Improvement over the older models and good value for money (assuming he changes his mind over active speakers)
An issue he has just raised is that he will mainly be listening to vinyl.
He currently runs his vinyl, and other sources, through an ION obelisk amp that I got for him a few years ago and some old, very budget speakers.
As I think, I think a speaker replacement is priority number one.

New or secondhand? Standmount or floorstander? Budget?
Happy with used. Bookshelf, small footprint.
