Not quite, the weakest link are the speakers (and room acoustics), and cheap speakers — which the large

A lot of mainstream speakers are pretty bad, but I tend to think that once you get above a couple watts the quality-for-money tatto ratio goes up quite a bit.

Interestingly, a study suggests that room acoustics don't negatively affect the sound of good speakers, and what that means is that for listening, acoustics don't matter as much as they do for recording.
