That’s it. That’s the note right there. 50 lbs of Amplifiers and pre-amplifers and floor standing speakers in the middle of a living room are hard sell
A small table, with a tiny headphone amplifier and a pair of headphones? Easy sell and it gets you most of the way there compared to the pricier living room set.
Yes, if you’re an audiophile and have a dedicated room and an even more dedicated spouse than well - good for you.
But for the rest of us that are just trying to listen to Pink Floyd’s The Wall in it’s entirety once the kids go to bed then high end headphones are the way to go.
