Why Don't More People Love Audio?


Can anyone explain why high end audio seems to be forever stuck as a cottage industry? Why do my rich friends who absolutely have to have the BEST of everything and wouldn't be caught dead without expensive clothes, watch, car, home, furniture etc. settle for cheap mass produced components stuck away in a closet somewhere? I can hardly afford to go out to dinner, but I wouldn't dream of spending any less on audio or music.

Tireguy, great example to further prove the point : "just because ya got money, doesn't mean ya got taste"...

and besides, if EVERYBODY was into this, while it may cost less (demand and all that), I doubt the quality would be there. How much fun would this hobby be if EVERYONE was into it? It's like what most of the locals here tell people about where we live "you don't want to come over here, it's cloudy and foggy all the time"....why? well, we want to keep our little secret to ourselves where we can fully enjoy it....
