@audiozenology.....thanks for the feedback.  I don't comment on here much.....too much back and forth banter.  So I just read and form my own opinion.  I've become a lot more 'tech savvy' than I used to be.  There's a guy  on CL selling this Proto...

Read the review for this Proton that I own.  A lowly 40wpc but 6db of headroom.  It makes my DQ 10's just sing compared to the Yamaha SS receiver I was previously using at 95wpc in 2 channel mode.  I don't know a whole lot about the 'techy' stuff ... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
"Roger Russell/speakerwire"....good article.  I wonder if rebar would sound better than coat hangars?

My vintage 1986 Monster Cables work flawlessly.  I don't run them along the floor.  They come out of the back of the cabinet at a very slight downward angle.  Then they get suspended from push pins with synthetic strings from the wall angling down...

Ask your FIL for advice....I'm sure he'd like to help you with setting up this system.  He obviously has the knowledge and can suggest the pre-amp you'd need.  You'll just get too much different advice here.  Keep them!

'speaker wraps'.....oh, the horror!  Great points you make..... 
How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish?
Jeez.....it's not rocket science folks.  The speakers are not outside,  they will not have any bonded contaminants.  So DON"T use clay.  Use some Mequiars Ultimate Quick Wax and a quality microfiber.  That's it. Polish in the same direction....bac... 
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
Terry Bozzio?

Recommendations for Vintage Speakers
DQ 10’s....what I use. They sound amazing....scored a mint set for $375. Refoamed but 100% original otherwise.  You'll need a high current amp for adequate bass response though.

Any cable delivers more bass than Cardas Golden Reference?
Got a vintage set of Monster Cable....1986.  Think I payed $30 for them.....the bass on my DQ 10's is fantastic.....and they're probably burned in by now. ;-)
