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.

Yep, Mrtennis, you hit it-- If everyone else enjoyed my hobbies, I would begin to question what I was doing... Good point.
I visited the family of one of my daughter's friends to pick her up after playtime. Stone walls inside the house, multiple large fireplaces including bedrooms and kitchen, home theater resembling a small, luxury commercial venue. Dad, correctly and to his credit, first asked me if I'd like a beer. I answered in the obviously affirmative. He led me to a bar refrigerator stocked with cases of... Bud Light, Miller Lite, or Coors Light. Cavernous wine cellar empty. You tell me...
