I've had tinnitus since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. A high end sound system is cool to look at, but wasted on me. Those $30 computer speakers are just fine.
This is the kind of info I would pay for
Im certain I could tell the difference between a $50,000 setup, and the one i have cobbled together for a couple hundo over the past decade... And i would love to have that setup. But that cost to performance is only worth it if you have way too much disposable income. Eff the audiophile market.
One of my favorite audiophile doo-dads were wooden knobs being sold as upgrades to regular device knobs. They were super special wood with all sorts of magic properties and a bargain at hundreds of bucks.

Delivery mechanisms and audio quality do not matter as long as it has a good beat that I can dance to.
It is almost as if the human ear is much less precise than electronics.
