    Not long ago, even the most basic speaker systems were gigantic, complicated beasts. Growing up in a family that hosted small concerts and community events, I remember spending hours of my childhood hauling out gear — mixers, amplifiers, cables, stands, and more — just to set up a backyard concert.
