We sold our house in MD and are in the early stages of having a home built in Western, NC.
To prepare out house for listing we "de-cluttered" and "staged" and am somewhat used to having less stuff in our living room.
So, instead of having an audio cabinet, receiver, CD player, speakers connected with wiring, etc. I decided to order a pair of KEF LS50 wireless speakers, which we'll drive with wireless sources (Spotify and Roon).
I suspect that the "younger generation" won't like the idea of matching this source with that amp, with those speakers, with those cables, etc. etc. Streaming quality is so good now, no need to buy CDs and vinyl. And that gives the manufacturer the opportunity to match the built in amplifier with the drivers, etc.
I do have a much more "high end" music system for another room, with over 1000 pounds of "traditional" equipment, but I'll be hiding out in my "man cave" to enjoy that. But in our living room, de-clutter is the way to go!
