I find it all rather disgusting.

You said it, brother.
I remember going to CES in the 80's. Seeing gear from Amber electronics, Audionics, Allison Acoustics, etc.
Was real gear for normal people, not status symbols for the crazy rich.
I miss those days.

By the way there is affordable gear at these shows. The press just tends to focus on the super expensive stuff. Was at a show in Dallas, Texas and the best sound at the show was a $7,000 speaker. Not exactly cheap but not out of site. the recent Elac speakers that are $250 to $500 are an example of a cheap speaker that was at most of these shows that have gotten rave reviews. Just because you can't afford a lot of this stuff doesn't mean you can't enjoy hearing or reading about them. At the
2015 CES I heard the top Magico system. It was a stunning sounding
system and yes it is $525,000. But it gave me some ideas for tweaking my own system to get it closer to the Magico sound. Believe me if you had the money you would not be complaining
