I think all the innovation moved to the creator/professional stuff. You can buy amazing sound gear that interfaces with the computer, controls stuff in Ableton, etc. For me at least, I've chosen to go with studio monitor type speakers from the professional audio world rather than home hi fi stuff. I suspect others are similar, a small 4 channel mixer with dac and other cool interface stuff is common.
