"Yet there are some areas where I can enjoy high-end, boutique stuff. I drink good coffee, have a few pieces of nice hand-made furniture, and I've started to collect smoking pipes."
That sums it up right there. Everyone can play in the high-end market. It is a matter of setting priorities. Malcom Forbes once remarked that over his Harley bike road travels worldwide he met a broad spectrum of people and one thing they all had in common was that they set aside some money for acquiring something that related to their hobby that represented "the best". The example was a biker who lived in a trailer park but had a $45,000 custom Harley, his "pride and joy". For some audio guys a $16,000 speaker might be within their means, thus the tag "affordable".
