When one of my non-audiophile friends had an idea of how much I spent on my music audio system, he referred to me as someone who had "more dollars than sense".
Of all the comments in this thread, this one hit home the most (to me):
"Nothing wrong with carefully spending your hard-earned money."
I have made lots of "investments" in my life, financial, marriage, our kids, our home, etc. and when I experience the joy of having an audio system that I really enjoy, I'll add that to the list of "money well spent".
The one thing I'd add...I have a relative who trades cars very frequently. I don't remember him owning one for an entire year. He's never "satisfied". So no matter how much he spends, his "investment" never seems to pay off.
