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.

Maybe they do, but have you ever been to an audio store where people who wander in are treated nicely, and have people patiently help them put together a MUSICAL system for their budget ? Very rarely in my experience, so how can you expect people to love something they aren't informed about ?
It's audio's fault, even the term " High End " or " TAS " can be offoutting .
More exposure to music in the schools, and parents taking children to live music events seems like a " natural " solution.
