Well, my interest has gone down a lot. Some of it has to do with loss of hearing, I think, and some just with a tendency to put less emphasis on the material So, at this point in life, I could be satisfied with something relatively modest.
We forget that when the first recordings were made, people were over the moon about their realism ... even though, by contemporary standards, they were trashy.
I'm pretty sure the Bose would do the trick.
But I have this (relatively) good system now, and maybe I should keep it together, or at least hang on to the speakers, which are crisp indeed.

Amazing how inexpensive these things have become, relative to a few years ago.
I hardly ever watch television, except for current affairs shows.
But perhaps I will one day buy a flat panel TV and get into the whole home theatre thing.
For whatever reason, it hasn't grabbed me yet.
Glad, though, that you're having fun with your new system.
