Depends. The 30k speaker might be bringing in a larger amount of pleasure than the soundbar person, but the audiophile still sees a way to improve it.
To use the classic example:
"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question."
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism (1863)
So what do you think, OP? Would you the pig/fool or the human being/Socrates?
