To hear the music, with a system that fits my environment.

I heard some Martin Logan electrostatic speakers playing some Stanley Jordan playing with Rob Wasserman.

I have Cerwin Vega AR-12 speakers. They need an overhaul. I have a Bob Carver 125 watt per channel amp. I used those to do a few parties. I never lacked for volume or sound quality.

Currently though. I only have room for sall 75 watt per channel powered Bluetooth speakers. I have a similar setup on my front porch.

Not enough to worry about. Once you stop listening to the equipment and tune in to the sound.

I have not found that to be the case. And proper settings on your phone preamp open the sound up. I had fifteen inch woofers and got deep and accurate bass.

Your will find much worse sound coming from early issue CDs.

I was running Bob Carver amps at the time.
