component audio
Stacked stereo gear
Component audio refers to a home stereo system built from separate specialized units—amplifier, preamplifier, tuner, speakers, turntable—rather than an all-in-one device.
Each component handles one function, allowing audiophiles to mix brands and upgrade individual pieces: He replaced the receiver but kept his component audio speakers.
The term distinguishes high-fidelity setups from compact systems.
