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.

I have books in my house , I had a pretty nice system going. I figured out that I enjoy listening to music through headphones more. So I bought a nice pair of Shure 846's.
I sold my system off and downgraded to a system that I'm thrilled with.

I realized that I was just too antsy to sit in the sweet spot for more than a couple of minutes. I can however sit through movies , plays, concerts , etc.
for hours.
I would think many people in today's times are the same way. To really enjoy a high end system , I think it's import to stay in the sweet spot. I don't need an eight grand system to dust around the room, do dishes in the next room over.
