Your post is a little confusing (perhaps why no additional responses). What exactly are you wanting advice on? A new set of speakers? 2 channel or multi-channel? Electronics/amps? I'm not clear on what "random access call on songs" means with respect to "two-channel sound". Give some more details about what you want to achieve as well as room size/details and price range.
Have had the speakers for 40 years. Still sound great. Looking for the electronics to drive them.
So what source(s) do you want to play from - just audio streaming from like Spotify, etc? TV? Other?
Trying to see if you have a real need for something like an actual receiver/pre-processor or not.
If you only need streaming then buying something like a WiiM and a 2-channel amp would be my suggestion. If not going the receiver route I'd suggest a class-D amp based on Hypex/Purifi technology. If money is an issue though, you might be better off with a lower end receiver + external streamer or an "all in one" product.
I find streaming/encoding/decoding technology changes much faster than AMP technology so I like to buy "separates" although you can find products that do both in the same box (including in a lot of receivers). Downside is if one part of it fails or becomes obsolete, the whole thing has to be replaced (which is why the manufacturers love selling them lol).
Also - is a subwoofer in your future for this system? Or sticking with just the 2-channel output?
