Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy???

I realized that I buy most of my HiFi equipment based on the designers/ manufacturers philosophy.....Example: Nelson Pass,Pass Labs "First Watt"....Jason at Schiit,......David Haffler with Dynaco......Richard Schram/John Curl, Parasound...Etc... These designers/owners/manufacturers have a deep philosophy about the direction of their designs and their products. I realized this while looking for yet another power amplifier. I really didn't know much about Parasound. Then I saw a YouTube of Richard Schram talking about Parasounds history, direction and marketing/design philosophy......Impressive what he has done and such clear thinking about his company. So therefor, a Halo A23+ is on the norizon! 

 What say you? Does any of this matter in your buying decisions?

You can still build a great sounding system whatever the approach. Better listen first and then decide to accept or reject anything with a term "philosophy" following it. Nowadays it is widely sold. On the other hand some excellent components are created when deviating somehow from their house sound, most designers and brands are not always on roll.
