You're not the only one "enjoying" age.
One thing many people forget when comparing sound systems are acoustics. A small room is just not going to have the sound of a large room. Sure, one can tweak the sound with an equalizer, fool with reverb, etc., but it's just never the same. This is one case where pouring more money into equipment will reap little to no gain after a certain point. After that, the only real gain is bragging rights. Once I get the settings right, I can get as good or better sound in my 12'x12' bedroom with a 7' (where I do my music listening) from my $99 (it was $129 when I got it) Logitech 5.1 system hooked up to my computer than from a Bose costing two or three times as much. The Bose systems would be able to sound better than the Logitecs if I was listening in a 20'x30' room with a 9' ceiling (which will never happen).
