Fastest way to correct hifi system?

Just wonder what you think is the fastest and most hasslefree route to buy a hifi system which one are satiesfied with longterm? Call the nearest hifidealer and tell your soundsignature preferences, roomsize and the amount you will use, or read magazinereviews and internetforums etc. for months or years trying to find the perfect system money can buy? Or just go to the nearest town and listen to as many system combinations in your pricebracket as possible and try to figure out what is the best for you?

The room is the most important, and most overlooked piece of the puzzle.
Jim Smith's book is excellent.
All of the previous posts are valid and worth paying attention to.
I've been in this hobby since 1975, and am still seeking, tweaking, changing, adjusting, and still loving it.
Don't get in a hurry, don't rush, and HAVE FUN!!!

The OP doesn't appear to participate. No matter.
I would always choose the speakers first. Analogue or digital or both is the next step. In any case, if you want long term satisfaction - don't rush it and prepare to spend enough.
It's Vladimir Shushurin aka Lamm not Victor, by the way. Great stuff.

Especially if the system is to be placed into an existing room, try to audition the speakers at home.
