I told my wife that my advice for anyone starting from scratch and wanted a system to listen to music to, just music, then I would recommend the Active LFRs with the two ADA1500-5 package. A little over $9k (after all current discounts, wait period, and loyalty program) for real wood speakers and the best sound and amplification you could ever want.
