I think nearly everyone likes music.People fill their lives with it (wallpaper) but also watch Idol and The Voice passionately - they sing on YouTube to each other. They can enjoy the music through the proverbial "clock radio" and don't need to spend the gobs of money to be satisfied.
WE are the odd ducks in this game, we tilt at windmills to try to produce a perfect sound. Nearly everyone who hears it is amazed, but their wallet is shut because they get enough satisfaction the way they do it today.
We can claim that we like music better than the other guys, but there is a little too much gear-talk, and it is far too male dominated for me to think it is just that.
I know for me, there is nothing like weaving the illusion of a live performance, but if my means were different and I couldn't justify it, I would still enjoy music on the equivalent of a clock radio if I had to.
