I have no anti-utilitarian bias

I simply put utility in its place for the appointed task. My lawn tractor does a fine job of mowing. Pickup trucks are great for carrying stuff. How about using an F-100 where desirable performance characteristics such as handling, steering response, braking capability, and cornering are concerned? Right. Similarly, I think it is a safe bet to say that there are a sum total of ZERO olympic runners who wear steel toed boots. For obvious reasons. On the other hand, I do wear boots as protective gear when I ride my motorcycle. The argument that anything used "professionally" is somehow better is a myopic view at best.

...perhaps you ought to get out more to different venues-

Since I listen primarily to acoustical music, there is rarely a need to hear a PA based system. And keep a good supply of earplugs. I gave up rock concerts long ago. And don't spend much time in bars.

To each his own.
