It all comes down to how passionate you are. As discussed, using a laptop or an iPad while it is connected to a good speaker works well for some. Meanwhile, for others, investing in some Hi-Fi systems is essential. For a group of party people, adding to their basic setup every now and then will be an essential thing to do. Thus, it entirely depends on your personal preference. For home use, you can choose from the basic to the most complex and high-quality setups. And, of course, you need to consider your budget when making the final decision.
