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.

Let me get this straight. We don't really know what High End Audio is exactly, it depends on who you talk to. And we don't really have any idea how many people are on High End Audio. Well, we know it might be about 100 or it might be more, a whole lot more. And now were worried about the prices to get into this High End Audio having to come down so every Tom Dik and Harry can get in? I'm not sure I like the sound of that.
Hmmmm, speaking of statistics, one wonders how many of the super rich are audiophiles. My guess is about 0.5%.
Actually, to be completely fair, the sentence should have read,

"Anyway it is hard to imagine any Audiophile being completely satisfied with his current system yet few state they are."

Cheers!
