How come old devices and products (80s-00s) are so efficient and long lasting unlike products nowadays?

Amps, dacs, streamers, wifi, and Bluetooth are all in separate devices. The new Klipsch number series - the fives, the sevens, and the

Looking for an at home audio system for music/ movies

Klipsch The Fives. Not surround but the stereo is immersive for movies, and the bass is unreal. Powered means no amp required. Takes HDMI, Bluetooth and a Turntable. Check them out.
