I feel like I’m caught in the middle of something here.
Maybe I’m biased but I like the sound of Wilson speakers over other brands. I confirmed that by listening to other brands. Therefore, I bought Wilson speakers.
Would it not be illogical to buy a speaker that I did not like to hear?
Not if for the dungeon room?
Or does confirmation bias drive me to upgrade to more expensive Wilson speakers? I do feel that urge from time to time.
Expectation bias is a root for favoring name brands, and confirmation bias can be an important subset of it. My impression has been it’s easy and reasonable to like something that sounds good to you, and it’s also easy but potentially unreasonable for that to morph into anticipation of more-More-MORE goodness from similar-but-maybe-better alternatives. Bias be aware, bias - beware.
“If a little is good, then a lot is better.” I don’t know who said that but it should not be words to live by. Although it is difficult to avoid in practice.
Yep!
