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.

Intelligence and sensitivity are just not that common.

77jovian, you hit it, in a nice way as well.
I would like to see some exposure to classical music, ballet & opera starting with the earliest grades.
My first Opera exposure was Orpheus & the Underworld with my grade 5 class and it made a great impression with all of us as I remember.
Action, danger, dynamic music; kids can dig that.
Just one experience a year from ~ grade 5 on would enhance music appreciation considerably-and help save our orchestras as well,imho.

Nsgarch,
I went thru a house today and saw lots af cassettes and mentioned to the owner must like music;;-
he said yes because there's nothing worth watching on tv.
I think your sound comment is right on as most people never, ever get to hear high end music repro-so-how can they be interested.l
