Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier?

As to the singular argument- if you can afford it, it's your decision, and
more power to you-
As long as you made your prodigious wealth honestly and show an equal amount of compassion and empathy in helping those less fortunate, by all means buy whatever you want.  But perhaps your acts of charity might move your spirit even more than the nth degree of electronic sophistication in your living room.

I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.... 
between the need for a gold-plated toilet seat and one made of the usual materials designed for the average derriere.  
Ripping people off for a living just to get ahead in life is incompatible with the purpose of great music- which is to inspire and uplift the listener- Not merely to show off "what you can afford".
    Yes, in the real world there ARE limits- like putting down your folk when your stomach is full.  Or lowering the volume on your 2000W/channel system when your ears start to hurt.
IOW, When is enough enough?  

ONCE AGAIN...  If anyone thinks that the money in their bank account belongs solely to them alone... they also have to ultimately believe that the earth exists for them alone, that society exists to serve them alone,
that people exist to please them alone, etc.  We are all just passing through this existence.  I am not objecting to the Boulder amps or the engineers who designed them, only to the attitude that you need only to please yourself regardless of the consequences to others.  I DO understand that the amps might perform at an astounding level of realism and that's great, truly.  I just think it's a bit ironic that so many composers and musicians die without a dime to their name, while the music they produce can only be "fully experienced" on a sound system that costs far more than the second-hand piano they used to record the album.
