I personally get immense satisfaction when listening to my collection of live pearl jam records on my 2.5k system, satisfaction I'm surely certain I wouldn't get when listening to some of the most beloved orchestral music on a 450k system like th one mentioned earlier. The thing I question now is are the MAJORITY of these people who spend more on their hifi than a new mercedes enjoying the music or the stereo?
Yes, both.
But it's just a guess. I could be wrong.
