Should there only be one company making gear?

Since there are such strong feelings regarding audio gear, with one company being right while the others are wrong, would it be easier on our psyche if there were only one company?

For example, one person might love Krell gear while another prefers the Rouge 88. Rather than the two of them fighting or disagreeing about the merits or shortcomings of the other, wouldn't it be easier/better if these conflicts did not exist?

Is it possible that there will ever be a piece of gear on which all audiophiles could agree?

Sure, and that would be the same day we all agree on the best music, women (sorry, Elizabeth!), cars, vacation sites, vodka, tequila, and best boxer of all time. Easy enough, don't you think?

My motivation in asking this was due to the RAGE expressed by certain people, even some who have posted on this thread, that hate anyone who does not have, and appreciate the same gear they have.

In these days of political correctness all this hostility cannot be allowed. It amazes me the venom that some people are willing to spew on those with other likes and dislikes. If there were no choices there would be no controversy, and we could all get along.

Does it make any sense for people to be hostile toward one another because of their choices of stereo gear?

Why not just call the company "Big Brother"? You'd still have your arguments though; Which speaker's better, the Grand Orwellian Rhapsodys, the Winston 1984's, or the O'Brien Conformists?!?
