I agree with all of the above, plus an observation that the greatest crime
of the magazines and advertisers is to give the impression that you can
"buy" better quality or better sound the more money you spend.

Alas, the reproduction problem is an acoustical one, not a component one.
You can make great sound inexpensively in a good room, but in a bad one no
amount of money can change anything about it.
