I enjoyed music the most when I was in the process of discovery. Audio was not such a big deal back then and 'sweet spot' was practically unheard of.
My audio system has improved markedly since then. Its properly set up and I sit in the sweet spot most often. My music collection is quite large so I have plenty of recordings on hand - I don't shop much anymore - I think pouring through record bins was half the fun. I know most of my music well now so the sense of discovery doesn't occur often (but it does and I'm thrilled).
Unfortunately I don't believe that the improved audio system has really replaced the involvement with the music I had back then. And, as I think for many, I have redirected my interest in music to its reproduction for an audio system. Poor exchange I think.
