Welcome!
Been into audio for 50+ years, started with my mom's old AM radio and a portable cassette player/recorder. By the time I got out of college had large 3-way speakers, Hafler pre/power amps, and a nice Thorens turntable but alas the speakers were too much for any room I could ever afford. Been through many systems. Nowadays I use wireless active monitors in a designed/dedicated listening studio.
