Let's see...

pre-1973 - my parents "Hi-fi", with a beautiful wood cabinet, tube amp, automatic turntable with 4 or 5 pound tracking weight, and a single 12" speaker with a little cone mounted in the middle of the big cone to give the illusion of treble

1973-1976 - same as above, but with a series of home-made external speakers replacing the built-in 12", starting with Philips / DeForest 2-way (5-1/2" woofer, 1") then replaced with KEF 2-way (8" woofer, 3/4" tweeter).

1976-1994-ish - Advent 300 receiver, SWTP power amp, some kind of decent turntable, Shure M95, pair of 3-way Philips home-made (10" / 4" / 1")

1994-2004-ish - some not particularly memorable system

2004-2005-ish - HK stereo receiver, M2ti, PSB Subsonic5, Kenwood CD changer

2005-2010 - HK 630, M60, QS8, VP100, SVS PC-Plus, with a Sanyo Z4 projector added somewhere along the way

2010-present - same but with VP180 replacing VP100
