By "sources" do you mean the music source? I am comparing CD music for example. I suppose what makes the biggest difference are the main speakers. It just seems to me good, older speakers had more "character" and were easier to listen too.

You may be correct. I decided my ancient modded and recapped Marantz 7MKIIs needed to be replaced. My choice was a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 70's based on the sound of my son's Polk Monitors. After break in time accrued an A/B comparison was made. The wife and I both preferred the Marantz sound. The Polks bass was weak (relatively) and the Marantz upper range wasn't as good as the Polks. Pam's comment was that the Polks sounded brittle.
Eventually though we found that playing both - Polks on speaker channel A, Marantz on speaker channel B - along with fiddling with treble & bass combines the strength of each to make for very listenable sound.
I meant the sources in the systems like the CD player and/or other digital source, turntables, tuner, tape etc. They make a big impact on sound too. A bad digital source especially can sound as you said in your original post.
