A friend needs a very simple setup: stereo amp (or receiver) and the ability to play physical CD's (she has >600 of them and intends to stick with them).
Her space is quite limited, so the smaller the better.
I have some old M22's I can give her, but not sure at this point what the simplest good solution is for the rest. It's a pretty large space, but she listens at very low levels, so perhaps even a digital amp would work.
I had the thought of something really simple for her, such as an Apple HomePod or Axiom Air, but it would have to accept input from a CD player.
All suggestions appreciated.

You could keep your M22s and get one of these. A CD player and radio is built into it. It has bass, treble and balance controls and aux input jacks. Be careful with the cheap class D amps. They hiss pretty bad and most dont have any controls other than volume.

I have an Integra stereo network receiver (DTM5.53?)in my garage. Cost about $70. Sound quality VERY, VERY GOOD!
I use it with a Sony CA9ES CD player. Got it used for $50. Sound quality is VERY, VERY GOOD.
You could get an APTX bluetooth plug in for about $50.
A nice monoprice subwoofer for about $120+.
Add a pair of M22s and your friend would have one heck of a stereo system for about $300!!!
I don't think you could beat this system's sound quality for many times its cost.
