I probably have the same Audio magazine too.
I recall everyone at college had big receivers or even component systems. Kenwood, Pioneer, and Sansui where ones I remember. Everyone had turntables and a few had reel to reels.
Speakers ranged from Bose 301s to HP100s to JBL100s. The rich guy had cornwalls (don't remember the amps).
When my kids went to college I tried to *give* them a decent stereo system but ipods and ear buds were enough. I thought part of college was going to a buddy's room and listen to music.
I gave one son a Marantz system for his house but it has never been set up. The TV speakers must be good enough.

My son has my Advent 300 Receiver - a pair of Boston A40's - I've had forever (and repaired a few times) and a nice Yamaha subwoofer that sounds better than what would cost me double to make. He used to play video games - but gosh - he built a computer - got rid of the xBox and sometimes listens to music. There is hope in the world.

I did have one son take a DIY pre (kind of a DH-101), DH-200 and Klipsch somethings (KG2?). I bet that was loud.
I did set up a Audionics pre, Adcom 535 and ADS speakers in one of the boys bedrooms but not sure if he is using them. I think the computer game he is playing would sound great.

The experiences that those who're over 40 are having with today's youth is opposite from what the generation of parents had with their youth in the 60's and 70's.
While there were, of course, exceptions, most parents tried to disuade their boys from falling into a loud music/stereo system trap. The whole thing looked suspicious to parents.
2015 - and parents [at least some] would love for their kids to show some interest in actual stereo systems; and actually sit down and listen to music, instead of using nothing but earbuds and laptops.
