In my case, the listening fatigue disappeared with much auditioning and ultimately, upgrading of hardware (particularly the CD source), to assemble a very listenable and musically compatible system that has the attributes we all want and strive for (I'm not going into the list of reviewer adjectives). Our system, in a word, is engaging; it draws you in and is the source of much enjoyment. IMHO, any system can drive you away if it lacks synergy.To simply read a list of "recommended components" at any price point, buy same without auditioning/mixing/matching in the listening room--whatever that room may be, wire them together and plug it all in expecting sonic Nirvana is like buying a bottle of expensive wine because the label has cool graphics. A caution: Don't buy components sound unheard unless they can be returned. This could be one of the most expensive and frustrating things you can do, and it can can severely dampen enthusiasm for the hobby.
A satisfying audio experience doesn't have to cost a year's pay, nor does the expenditure of same on equipment guarantee satisfaction. One man's garbage is another's treasure. Listen, if possible, to systems within your budget at your audio dealers, ask for recommendations and try to audition your proposed system in your home--this last qualification can change things immensely.
Assembling a musically satisfying audio system should be fun and doesn't have to be a budget-buster; certainly, it's challenging trying to get the maximum bang for the buck.
And finally, "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."
Good listening!
