Decent Hi-Fi system

I implore everyone to listen to music on a decent audio setup every now and then, I listen to 90% of my music on my iPod and the other 9.9% while sat at my computer using a speaker system which only has the right channel and that is placed off to one side and some 4ft above my head when I'm at the computer.

But tonight, I'm sitting in front of my TV with my laptop listening to music through a reasonable amp and some decent speakers and I can't believe how much better it sounds.
