Yeah, good speakers aren’t a thing any more because “Good enough”.  There must 
be a solution to this problem.  Nobody wants to build up an expensive component 
system because playing your media from analog or digital sources requires 
physical effort and requires actually getting up off the sofa.  And you have to 
actually pay attention to the output and not, say, fiddle around with your 
smartphone.

And there is a solution: big speakers you connect to your network.  Only 
everyone in this game has their own stupid proprietary solution (AirPlay, 
Sonos, ChromeCast Audio) the result of which is that we still haven’t actually 
solved the problem of how you get your computing devices to command your 
speakers to make noises using data stored on your NAS or from the cloud over 
your fast pipe.  That’s where we’ve got to go.  Get all your CDs, DVDs, tapes, 
LPs ripped into the best lossless formats that make sense, or get the HD 
equivalents, and we can do this, someday.  Just as soon as the studios pull 
their fingers out of their bottoms and acknowledge that there’s a market for 
high-quality masters.
