Similar to that of theatre systems, Components needed to make up a fine hi-fidelity audio equipment are essentially

• Stereo Power amplifiers (2 separate mono amps are even better)
• Could also be Receiver amplifiers. But for sound quality, audio amps would be better and won't be coloured as with a low priced AV receiver.
• Speakers (front 2, and may be also a subwoofer if you are western listener.  Ensure that the amplifier supports a sub)
• A DVD/CD/SACD player (high end dedicated Audio CD player is recommended)
• Cassette decks
• Spool players
• LP disc players (vinyl disc players)
• Separate tuner systems

Adding to the list could be theatre components retaining the same quality speakers for stereo whereby one could get the upgrade to a home theatre. Add an AV receiver to play back your video source. On the speakers side add matching surrounds, center and rears to make it either 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1.
