Interesting topic.I'm pretty sure it will consist of less boxes.
I see the CD's being boxed up and stored. They have barely been touched in months. In fact I'm actually starting to use my hard drive less and less in favour of spotify, so I'm not even sure that will still be here when spotify starts to stream in an uncompressed format.
So I imagine my system in five years will consist of One box, possibly two, An AV amp and maybe a stereo one as well. I doubt I'll have a phsical source in a rack at all. Everything will be pretty much cloud storage based or streamed.I also think the remotes will all have been consigned to the drawer of no return in favour of a tablet or phone app.
Bigger TV, maybe a projector and no doubt more speakers, possibly 7.1 or 9.2.

Exactly the same as it is now. Thankfully streaming is the last format and format changes have driven pretty much all my previous hifi purchases.

Using my NAS less and less so hopefully Sonos and Spotify or equivalent will play/supply uncompressed music. That will be a def purchase/upgrade.
Whatever the latest pre/pro format processing is ie Dolby Atmos also new room EQ advances etc.
oh and a second sub15.
If funds allow a screen and PJ but can't see it happening financially.

I have 3 Hi Fis,
Rotel 202 Receiver, Garrard 86SB turntable & Rank Domus Speakers pursuaded my parents to upgraded their radiogram when I was at school in early 70s still works!
Nytech CTA 252XD Receiver, Rega Planar 3, Panasonic DMR 769 Harddrive Recorder, Celestion Ditton speakers. My pride and joy this sounds so good I'll never change it even though my friend wants to buy it and my daughter wants it! (late 70s). As a student I worked in factories all the summer for 3 years to buy this system.
Arcam Alpha, Technics SLPG570 CD, SAGEM Satelitte recorder and Mordaunt Short Pageant 2 speakers. Sounds fabulous but still prefer my analogue System 2. (80s)
My Onkyo 905, Panasonic DMR BWT720B Freeview HD 1 TB Recorder and Bluray player & B&W 685 Theatre speakers and Sony KDL 40W20 TV.
Provided nothing dies I will keep it as it is and spend my money on bluerays and music instead.

From my crystal ball:
The iphone 10 will be released, which will not be compatable with iphone 9 docks. Customers will have to pay $50,000 for an adapter. There are queues of 2 million people to buy one after stuff.tv gives it 7 stars In an exclusive interview from deep inside the vault of an unnamed Swiss bank, the editor denies that they received a bribe.
MP3 will ne available in 960mbps, so those of us who bought the same album on Cassette/CD/SACD/DVD-A/mp3 128/mp3.320/FLAC/ALAC can now buy the same recording for a 9th time. Led Zeppelin sell their 1 billionth album while admitting they only have 10 million fans.
In a WhatHiFi competition, the winner shocks everyone by keeping his prize. Ebay launch a complaint that winners should be forced to sell their prize and even offer to make up an excuse the winner can use for shamelesssly cashing in. The winner says he is a Hi-Fi enthusiast. Local hospitals are beseiged at millions of patients turn up suffering from shock.
George Lucas reveals that Star Wars will be available in 85.1 surround sound. KEF announce record profits. Logitech announce that they will release it in 1.0 sound with their new Soundbar. KEF release a profits warning.
In the charts, Now That's What I Call Naff 4,936 reaches NUmber 1 spot. It gets 6 stars in a review by Fashion Weekly.
Meanwhile, my system stays the same with the sole addition of a NAS drive. My 3,000 CDs get flung in the attic. Later the ceiling caves in under the weight. Searching through the debris, we find Lord Lucan riding Shergar.
Time to put the crystal ball away. :rofl:

I'm hoping mine will be in a new (bigger) house by then
But as far as equipment goes, I really hope I've finally sorted out my amp replacement by then :?
