How do you know if your system sounds like the sound room where it was recorded or how it sounded live? I think a sound system alters the sound in order to hear what sounds most pleasing to your ear. The next step is how much are you willing to spend or how much will your spouse allow you to spend.
I think it is fun to do things in stages and to improve the sound. This gives you something to look forward to. Problem is, the equipment depreciates rapidly.
Many young people have no choice but to start somewhere, but they are at least starting.
What amazes me is to look at real estate listings and not see a single home with a pair of speakers in any room of their house. For example they might have a $5,000 piece of furniture with a wide screen TV and they are listening to their TV speakers. I would estimate 70% of viewing a movie is based on sound. People living in a $800,000 house listening to their TV speakers. Yikes!
