Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Purchased 2 SVS subs.  Great addition!  Added sound absorbing panels to a wall.  Another great addition!  All learned from reading various threads on this site!  I'm always learning and experimenting, even at 66 years old!  
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
Added a pair of SVS subs to my full range Kef Reference towers during covid lockdown.  One of my better upgrades with out a doubt!  I'm pleased with the addition.  
Kef Reference Tweeters-Ferrofluid Replacement
Ichavesta1;Not sure I understand what your asking?  If its a Kef speaker, the tweeter and midrange speaker are concentric to one another.  The tweeter sits inside the mid range.  It sounds like the 'inner surround' of your mid range has become det...

Samsung flat screen TV’s
Doni also makes a good point!  You can feel the heat from a Plasma screen a good foot away!  I don't believe you can even purchase a Plasma anymore.  Another good technology abandoned due to government mandates!

Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl?
Thanks for the thoughtful post!! 
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I never 'gave up' on records.I did embrace CD's because of convenience, portability, and durability.  If alone I listen to vinyl. When guests visit,  CD's, or music I've ripped to a thumb drive.  I prefer records overall.  I'm 65.
