and have always posted as such....Your assumptions, are just assumptions.
""High end does not just mean the cost of the equipment.""
Of course, and your point? As we all know, and is obvious, there is a difference between the classification and the sound. A great mid-end component is one that cost less than the GENERAL classification of high-end, (which is roughly $1K), but sounds much better. A "high-end" component that doesn't sound so good, will be one whose sound does not live up to its price point.
""Many of us look for hi performance in reasonably priced products""Sure, - and what is a "reasonable price" for you, is likely to ONLY be a reasonable price for you. No two people here agree on what sounds good, what is a "reasonable price," what works well with something else, or what kind of music is good music. A high school student might call your "reasonable price" unreasonable...
""This is pretty much an opinion blog and a sharing blog for all of us. So I expressed my opinion - is that so shocking? You seem to be unrelenting rude toward a poster whose 2nd language is English.""
Well, it's a public forum. Nothing is shocking. It wasn't the concept of the opinion, - but the negative judgment that went along with it. In that people who purchase and speak about high-end products are "unreasonable." (As I mentioned, much of this site concerns talk about the high-end. There are plenty of other sites that do not).
So do you mean you or Hazel as someone with English as their second language? If it's Hazel, his command of sarcasm was pretty darn good, and the rude tone spoke for itself. And you jumped in to his aid? Why? I was responding to his rudeness....

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
