Enjoy the music, not the speakers. I have effectively two systems (see sig for details) Both are very much considered budget and both sound great, but I usually use headphones
Also at 55 you probably should get a hearing check, I'm a bit younger but I definitely have some hearing loss.
In my experience to tell good from great speakers - you'd have to listen to them side by side and still hard to notice the difference. Don't worry about audiophile nonsense. If you like your system, and how it sounds - that's it.
