... I didn't consider that said audiophile may actually have a mate. :-)
Seriously, that's quite a bleak picture you paint and in such a situation I certainly agree with you. But it's also somewhat of a worse case scenario, isn't it? I've never seen one myself but I do gather that there are parts of the country where you can buy a fairly nice home for $90k, but not in my part of the country. Around here you can buy a townhouse (row home) for $250K. And assuming that the used car is a five-year-old Honda, I can see a guy swinging it because wage rates are commensurately higher here, too.
OK, I'm weaseling around here a little bit because I hate to be wrong, but the truth is, I certainly agree with the spirit of your original post. 10 years (or so)ago a reviewer called 20+ thousand dollar Dunavy speakers a good value or something like that. So it's hardly anything new. But I think it's more than fair for people to point out the idiocy and try to keep these guys' feet on the ground.
Happy Easter to you, too!
Best,
JP
