I have always loved great music and to get the most out of it requires high quality audio equipment. So I build my own. I do have a favorite pair of factory speakers they are Klipsch.
Now if you don't have a billion dollars to spend, find an old mid 1970s or older Marantz tuner/amp and restore it. They can be found on EBay for pennies on the dollar. Connect that to a pair of Bose speakers and you have a winner.
If that still doesn't get you going, send me a PM or email and I'll try to help you out.

My head phones were only 75 when i got em from Newegg. now they sell em for 99 lol. Plus my headphones give me surround sound quality, I swear best 75 dollars ever! Unless I buy Alizée's love for $75 by some miraculous stroke of magic! You can hear every thing as clear as day and the bass is exquisite on em and they are made for DJing.

Oh yeah, when my friends come over to listen to some tunes we always have plenty of wine, a refrigerator full of ice cold beer and a box of Depends.

You have to tame those room modes with the proper amount of bass trapping, absorption and diffusion. A room full of great gear doesn’t sound that great if the room itself sounds bad. One should always include in their budget money for proper acoustical treatment of the listening space if you want a great music room. That's the one thing most people forget about.

I have laptop speakers and some cheap headphones. Its either that or my rather pitiful car speakers.

I'm just not at a point where I can afford sound equipment, I can barely afford music.

It took me a long time to get to the point I'm at now. And once you start, it seems like it never ends, and it's always a work in progress.

Cool

Paradigm Signature S2 speakers
Marantz DV8400 DVD w/Monster Cables or Rega CD player w/Kimble Silver Streaks

Blew Up old Receiver...Dreaming of Krell or NAD for new power source
Protected by Monster Power AVS 2000 & HTS 5100

Still want Paradigm Sub also, so I'm a work in progress.
