it is hard to be content with a stereo system when live music is so much more satisfying. after attending a recital of acoustic performances, i have no interest in listening to any stereo system for a while.
stereo systems are a distant second best to the real thing.
consider the chain:
live performance---recording---stereo system---listener.
