Yea sure the non-audiophile doctors, lawyers, pro atheletes, etc. who make up a big share of the high end market probably don't read this forum. As if any audiophile should be jealous of the sound many of these top dollar systems are delivering to their non-audiophile owners.But lo and behold there's a number of audiophiles from the ranks who are willing to argue that jealousy is the main reason why one would criticise an expensive audio system. LOL - as if very expensive poorly matched, setup, selected or just bad sounding systems and equipment don't exist in the homes of the very wealthy.
There's no counting how many times I've been charged with being blinded by envy or jealousy because I claimed a stereo that costed more than mine sounded bad - it's one of the most ridiculus charges ever rendered as if simply because it costs more it should sound better. Such "beliefs" seem almost common on this forum.
It's hardly revelatory to find an expensive audio system that doesn't sound good - in fact it the norm not an exception even in dealer showrooms.
So sure it's fine that you picked on the frugal objectivist and less fortunate - but you did seem to forget those that are or long to be benighted and ignorant kleptocrats with fancy audio equipment.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
