Audiophile Myths or Facts?

[E-Stat]

I really can't stomach the though of spending thousands on a system that is only good at low to moderate volumes...

Nor am I. With wide dynamic range material, you get both.

I suspect this is why B&W does so well... they deliver "audiophile" sound while giving consumers the loud, bright and bass heavy sound they expect...

Exactly. Most folks prefer an exaggerated image. Like those who crank the color level on their TV where everyone looks kinda reddish.
